Act It Out and Play! Stories Just Made for Participation

 Every Child Ready to Read states, "Play is one of the best ways for children to learn language and literacy skills. They learn about language through playing as the activities help them put thoughts into words and talk about what they are doing."  In this highly active webinar, Storyteller and Narrative Consultant, Jenifer Strauss will be presenting books that lend themselves to PLAY!

In this webinar you will:

• Learn fun facts from current research about the Power of Play!
• Be introduced to authors and books that lend themselves to creative expression and encourage silly improvisation.
• Learn four traditional and literary stories that are perfect for adaptation and group participation (titles, props and costume lists will be provided).
• Learn some easy group games to add cooperation to storytime programs.

Your instructor for this webinar is Jenifer Strauss, Narrative Consultant, Story Be Told.
