His Mom and Dad were dead. It was really sad. The baby squirrel wanted to go home but it didn't know the way home. Then a mother bird helped him find home. He was happy and he jumped into bed. He had a good nights sleep. Then he woke up and had breakfast." (Dictated story from a kindergarten girl during storytelling story acting) In a typical storytelling story acting session children dictate and dramatize their stories. This strengthens their oral language development, lays a foundation for literacy development to flourish and helps build empathy. Participants in this workshop will learn how to implement Vivian Paley's, storytelling story acting strategy in their classrooms.
