Using Storytelling to Talk About... Understanding the World

Understanding the world is a new resource part of the ‘Using storytelling to talk about ’ series, which gives teaching practitioners all the support they need to develop and use storytelling, poetry and song performance skills in the Early Years Foundation Stage. It includes a variety of short and original interactive stories and poems, linked to three different learning and development areas: ‘Personal, social and emotional development’, ‘Understanding the world’ and ‘Communication and language’. All the stories and poems/songs offer the children the opportunity to learn, develop and share their knowledge and skills in a fun and interactive environment, using the power of storytelling for building creativity, social skills and confidence.
