OVERVIEW
Storytelling is such a powerful tool for teachers not only for language learning, but also as a way of connecting to students and spreading warmth and understanding. Right now, this is a perfect tool for our current situation as online teachers.  In this webinar, we’re going to look at a number of stories and picture books that are suitable for the young learner. Teachers will receive tips and simple strategies on how to work with beautiful images, how to use costumes, props and sound effects using simple things available at home. As we gain confidence as storytellers, we can also spread beautiful messages of love and hope in these challenging times.

OVERVIEW
Offering young learners wonderful stories, with interesting images and clever plots, is an essential part of our students’ journey towards literacy. More than that, learning how to listen and feel the magic that’s concealed within the pages is a crucial part of childhood! In this webinar, we will explore ways in which we can include Story time sessions and reading work in our classes. I will share practical tips on how to prepare your students and how to involve them, but more importantly, let’s talk about how to touch their souls and make meaningful connections to their lives through storytelling.
