Storytelling is important for children's language development and enjoyment as they learn there is a beginning, middle, and end to stories. It should be prepared for with a defined story time area and discussing the book cover to engage children. The story should use different voices and pausing to allow comments, and follow up should allow children to discuss what they liked and recall the progression to support learning.

Story telling
Why? • Storytelling is about language, listening and for enjoyment. •
• By being engaged in a range of stories children learn how to tell their own story. •
• They learn that there is a beginning, a purpose and an end.
How? • Pre read the book & prepare. • Start a ritual that children recognise as story time. • Have a defined area for children to sit. • Discuss the cover with the children. What can we see? What might the book be about? • Use a loud clear voice and adopt different voices and tones to portray different characters and feelings. • Pause throughout the story to add a comment or allow children to comment and predict. Keep it simple to start. • After the story allow children to comment on what they liked, what happened, to make alternate endings and to recall the story progression. The possibilities are endless.
