Brief Program Description
To improve oral language, reading comprehension, and writing, teachers can use storytelling in classrooms as an effective pedagogical strategy woven into instruction to increase students’ competencies in all areas of learning. Storytelling in classrooms breaks abstract concepts into concrete. Even the most reluctant reader or writer will be motivated when engaged in storytelling activities that enhance the use of creativity and imagination. Learn storytelling tips and techniques for motivating underachieving students. Examine ways in which stories can illustrate and reinforce concepts, and through listening and re-telling, improve students’ oral skills and comprehension. Dr. Chang’aa presents storytelling workshops across the country and his humorous presentations touch audiences of all ages.
