Story makers: young children creating, telling and responding to stories with The Open University (session 2)

In these sessions, Teresa and Samantha will explore two approaches to develop young children’s engagement with stories and support their reading for pleasure. Storyworld play as well as storytelling and story acting will be presented as meaningful and enjoyable practices, capable of enthusing children in the Early Years and Key Stage 1. 

In the first session, we explored the practicalities of making these approaches come alive in the classroom, before inviting attendees to think about how they could include one of these approaches in their practice. 

This second session will provide a collaborative space for teachers and practitioners to share their initial experiences and to discuss how to build upon these, enriching opportunities for young children as story makers.
