Primary School Teachers.
To help teachers:
- Discover the power of storytelling in literacy.
- Understand the value of interaction techniques.
- Understand how to use storytelling to develop oral vocabulary and listening skills.

This workshop explores the use of Storytelling as a powerful tool in the development of literacy, showing ways to use storytelling for strong, focused teaching designed to address the varied needs of children. We will look at ways to engage students in both the listening to and the telling of stories. This activity will focus on the development of their oral language, vocabulary and listening skills as well as specifically target the development of reading and written language. A variety of interaction techniques will be demonstrated and discussed.

The article "Tell Me a Story – I'm Learning to Read" by Tess Bayly and a handout with ideas and activities will be provided and used during the session.
This workshop will be based on a co constructive theory. It will be an interactive approach that investigates the value of storytelling.
