Storytelling and Pre-Schoolers

 We start with the story

• Identify the child's interest.
• If you know them well, great; if not, think about that age group.
• Animals
• Stories where children their age are heroes
• Stories about things children like to do: getting dirty, playing with an adult around, trying something new for the first time, etc. 

 Where do you find good stories?

• Stories from your head (remembered, made up)
• Picture books (especially if trying to excite reading)
• Your school library 
• Family stories (but don't discover yourself on other people's time!)
