Regional Tales

Preparing for Storytelling
1. Read the entire story three to four times.
2. Internalize the basic storyline.
3. Read it aloud to familiarize yourself with certain expressions, repetitions and phrasing.
4. Note which portion need to be modified.
5. Practice.
Storytelling Presentation
1. Make sure audience/ listeners are comfortable.
2. Make sure audience/ listeners can hear.
3. Maintain eye contact with the listeners.
4. Consciously use pitch, stress, junction and pace to create and sustain mood.
5. Use confidential tone unless the story dictates otherwise.
6. Articulate clearly.
7. Keep the story moving.
Story Reading ❃ Use of Big Books
❃ Ideal for Kindergarten
Tips
❃ Go through the story and talk the illustrations page by page.
❃ Read each page aloud, point to each word and encourage the children to read aloud with you.
❃ Pause every now and then and allow them to read by themselves if they can; continue reading aloud if they hesitate or falter
❃ Do this over and over again and experience their joy in learning to read.
❃ Make certain that the illustrations are visible to all.
❃ Share the story in one sitting.
STORY LIVING
An option when the story has to be acted out with props; like puppets, flannel boards or chalk.
It is what most of us call “dramatization”
Tips1. Identify and practice the voice changes
and the appropriate gestures that make the story live.
2. Identify and practice the use of props that best catch the plot, characters, or mood.
3. Practice the sequencing of cumulative tales so that the sharing is smooth and invites the participation of children.
Read-Aloud
Read-alouds start at home. These are special sessions when a parent or
caregiver takes the time to read to children with ages ranging from zero (0) to
preschool age.
Tips• Begin reading to children as soon as possible.
The younger you start them the better. • Use Mother Goose rhymes and songs to
stimulate the infant’s language and listening skills. Simple but boldly colored picture books arouse the child’s curiosity and visual sense.
• Read as often as you and the child have time for.• Remember that the art of listening is an acquired
one. It must be taught and cultivated gradually. • Start with picture books and go on to storybooks.
Rhymes for Children

• Occasionally read above the children’s intellectual level and challenge their minds.
• Remember that reading aloud comes naturally to very few people. To do it successfully, you must practice.
• Read slowly enough for the child to build mental pictures of what has been read.
• Lead by example. Make sure the children see you read for pleasure other than at Read-Aloud time.
A book is a good book for children only when they
enjoy it
while…
A book is a poor book for children even when adult rate it as a classic, if children are not
able to read and enjoy it
