Storytelling
(Category: Literacy)
Sharing and creating a common experience in storytelling aids in the development of oral language patterns and listening skills. Students need a wide experience with spoken language if they are to achieve success in reading.
This initiative provides funding to engage an outside storyteller to introduce the JCSP students to the art of storytelling. This initiative could also be part of a wider project involving students in creating and telling their own stories.
