Simply Storytelling shows how to tell stories in innovative ways without using books. Telling stories rather than reading them stimulates children's imagination, encourages conversation and helps develop concentration and memory. This book shows how different storytelling methods such as using a feltboard, puppets, toys, dress ups and music can be used to actively involve the children. Photographs illustrate each method. Simply Storytelling includes something for everyone from early childhood educators to parents, grandparents and anyone wanting to extend the learning environment for children.
