Kindergarten and early primary teachers.

- See the benefit of reading stories with children: a source of enjoyment, language development and exploitation of the content of the stories to help children boost their imagination and creativity as well as develop social skills (solidarity, acceptance of diversity & negotiation in decision making, among others).
- Practice reading aloud and discuss strategies to make the best out of it.
- Think and plan a variety of reading related activities to work with in the classroom.
We are going to read and work with the following stories:
- Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes.
- Click, Clack, Moo. Cows that Type by Doreen Cronin.
- I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato (Charlie and Lola) by Lauren Child.
*We will include other stories if time allows.
Workshop: Dialogical and interactive approach in which participants will discuss and apply concepts, brainstorm creative teaching ideas and develop supporting teaching materials.
