National Storytelling Week celebrates the power of telling stories and this year’s theme, ‘Reimagine Your World’, encouraged creativity and exploration.
February in our Literacy Labs kicked off with an immersive journey into storytelling!
The children who attend our Literacy Lab sessions had the opportunity to celebrate the week and enjoy a variety of storytelling activities. Our tutors were equipped with a diverse set of books and resources—including story dice, story maps, and images of portals and extraordinary doors—to spark imagination and inspire storytelling.
With the guidance of our creative tutors, children brought their stories to life in various ways. They crafted story boxes, designed zig-zag books, used puppets to narrate their tales, and wrote their own original stories!
In our Literacy and Reading Labs we are passionate about promoting reading for pleasure. As well as building literacy skills through our expert and tailored tuition, we also want children to experience the joy that can come from reading, whether it’s being swept up in a story or marvelling over mind-boggling facts. National Storytelling Week is a great opportunity to immerse children into the wonderful world of books.
