When our teachers begin their storytelling session the children find it a fun and engaging activity. It helps to stimulate their imagination and encourages creativity and critical thinking. They love to listen to stories and be transported to different worlds and experiences through the power of words. They are also able to learn important life lessons and values through the characters and plots of stories. Storytelling can also help to improve children’s language and communication skills, as they listen to the rhythms and patterns of language and begin to understand how to use language to express their own ideas and emotions.
