Storytelling Workshop at the National Child Research Center, Washington, D.C.

This past week, I had the pleasure of presenting a storytelling workshop to the faculty and staff of the National Child Research Center (NCRC) in Washington, D.C., during their teacher orientation week before the opening of school.  NCRC is a respected and influential independent preschool that has served Washington, D.C. families since 1927.  Using live demonstrations, I showed the faculty and staff how teachers and students can create stories together, using an interactive approach.  We discussed the benefits of storytelling as a preliteracy activity, and explored how teachers can incorporate interactive storytelling into their lesson plans.  We all learned a lot and had great fun in the process.  Many thanks, NCRC, for the opportunity to share my love of storytelling with you.
