OVERVIEW
For children to develop into confident readers and learners, normally two things are required – one is an ability to learn phonics. The other, arguably much more important quality, is a love and an interest in stories.
This is what comes first, and drives forward the later skills, as well as being a central part of learning across the whole curriculum.
This course provides a full practical framework to address many of the key questions about early literacy:
How do you get children engaged in books and stories?
How do you inspire harder to reach learners?
How can you integrate storytelling and literacy into child-led play?
How do you get children to become independent storytellers?
How can you use storytelling to develop skills across the whole curriculum?
How do you develop language and communication?
How can literacy make an impact across the WHOLE CHILD?
What resources do you require to implement early literacy successfully?
What are the key skills and benefits?
I have taken ten years of early years experience, and condensed it into 2 hours of content containing the best 100 storytelling and literacy ideas that I know to address all of these issues.

COURSE CONTENT
The course is a mixture of multiple brand new strategies, mixed in with some old classic early years activities that have been revamped and modernised.
As an example of a classic activity, I take a look at story stones – how to make them, and many games you can play with them. However, I then go further, and look at many variations of story stones, and ways of using related original resources to stimulate structured storytelling, mark-making and communication in different ways.
Other strategies involved in the course include:
Story sticks – what they are, and multiple ways to use them
At least ten loose parts play storytelling ideas
Multiple small world play storytelling ideas
Literacy ideas using puppets
Story dice – how to make them and how to use them
Story poles (what they are and the different ways you can make and use them)
Many ways of creating and using story spoons
Child-led storytelling activities
And MANY MORE…

I sent three members of staff on the Storytellers course and they loved it! They said it was the best course they’d ever been on because the course leader didn’t spend his time reading off a powerpoint, he made it interactive and fun. I eagerly await the next course we can attend!”
