Reading stories to children is an effective way of teaching literacy and language


Highlights

  • Make sure that you are in a relaxed environment then identify the funny side of the story
  • Let the children become active participants in every storytelling session, and encourage them to weave their own version of the story
  • Storytime sessions can be turned into an opportunity to bond with your children

Melbourne-based Filipina storyteller Anna Manuel shares ways we can help spark children's interest in the stories we read to them.
