What is Story Making?

Story Making is a new way of learning and remembering stories. It is about telling stories together rather than reading from books. Story Making builds children’s confidence and helps to improve their speaking and writing in fun, creative ways. Stories are told with actions. These are fun and help children to memorise new words and patterns in the story.

Repetition is important and stories need to be retold at different times and in different places (walking to school, bedtime, travelling in the car) Remember, children learn through imitation so tell the stories in a rhythmic way using expression and funny voices. Soon your child will start to join in with the story and you can enjoy telling stories together.
