Powerful Story Chats
What is Powerful Story Chats about...?
Listening to stories, telling stories, being interested in stories, creating stories, and talking about stories is a powerful gift for humans. In our story chat sessions, the adults listen to the stories with the students and everyone participates in a discussion about the story. This is how we learn about new words, new worlds, new people, and new experiences.
Each fortnight we will have students evaluation of the story we have been working on and a youtube link to an audio version of the book for you to listen to with your child/ren.
