Imagine every child in your classroom enchanted by the best storytellers from around the world, whenever you want.
Now you can!
Imagine someone who has mastered the art of telling a story so well that the words come to life and transform themselves into pictures in a child’s imagination. It’s the way we’ve learned for millennia and it’s absolutely captivating.
It’s also highly educational. Children’s early knowledge of story is the most important indicator of later educational achievement. And now every child can experience the very best Internationally renowned storytellers.
‘The Story Spinner‘ and ‘Stories from Around the World‘ are DVDs for primary aged children (early years to Year 6) proven to help develop their literacy skills.
The DVDs allow you to have repeated viewings of the exact same telling of a particular live story, year after year, offering you excellent value for money. You can then use the story as a powerful and versatile teaching tool, regardless of any changes in the curriculum: children can do their own re-telling; analyse the story structure; discuss the characters; hot seat; make story boards; artwork; drama… and of course, simply enjoy the shared experience of a good story!
“The power of story to engage, amaze and delight is presented here in a compelling collection, brilliantly told. If you buy nothing else this year, buy The Story Spinner and enjoy the journey.”
Eve Bearne, University of Cambridge Faculty of Education.
