These storytelling techniques feature storytelling experts; each showcasing a technique that will bring sparkle to your shared reading sessions. They have been thoughtfully selected and coupled with a list of what you will need &#8211; to get started in weaving your own tales of wonder!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The intention here is to inspire &#8211; showing the children that words can be expressed in many ways. These resources can be introduced, and then used to entice the development of stories from children as they play. Some things are much too exciting to be kept in a cupboard! Once there is familiarity with these tools, use them as part of the learning space to facilitate story-making through play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group learnings has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff6f3\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-this-resource\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>How to use this resource:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li>Watch the videos and discover the magic of storytelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use our resource list to gather what you need and give it a go!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the props in the learning space to support children with retells\u2026and their own creations!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":323,"featured_media":12902,"template":"resource\/resource_post_container.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"categories":[307,299],"tags":[405,319],"coauthors":[406],"class_list":["post-12863","resource_post","type-resource_post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-classroom-strategies","category-early-years","tag-early-years","tag-english"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bringing Stories to Life!
