Storytelling across the Primary Curriculum

Starting from the question what is a story? Storytelling Across the Primary Curriculum leads the reader through the theory and practise of storytelling as an educational method a method taught by the author over the last ten years through Primary English teaching programmes.

This practical book gives teachers the skills and confidence to use storytelling and the spoken word in new and exciting ways in the classroom. It will also give teachers the confidence to put down the book and trust themselves to tell, rather than read, a story. It provides a wealth of examples of cross-curricular teaching opportunities, including a section on the ways in which the teaching of phonics can be embedded in the 'real' language of story.
