Storytelling with your child can deepen their appreciation and awareness of language and broaden their view of the world. Using imagination and playing with ideas can help to make children more accepting of differences and more open to challenge and change.
Storytelling is vital for the development of your child's imagination.
How Does Storytelling Help Children?
With regular storytelling practise, confidence builds and the imagination becomes limitless. Other storytelling decisions such as where stories are set and where characters come from help children to think about and describe the world around them. This is a golden opportunity for parents or those supporting the story to talk about their experiences of the world.
Enchanting Learning Cards are also storytelling cards...the illustrations combined with the story starters or discussion prompts give parents and children or teachers and classes to explore their imaginations with a lovely creative prompt.
Our cards are suitable from age 3, a great time to start storytelling, creating characters and using exciting language to boost verbal skills. The learning cards then last until around age 10 for children who need something to support their ideas for independent writing. But the cards don't then need to be out in a drawer, keep them out for impromptu storytelling sessions for all the family.
