Storytelling: When! Why! How!

Monty Haas and Laurie Joy Haas, executive producers

The stories we tell serve many purposes—some entertain and amuse us, others teach us valuable lessons. With this DVD, you’ll see storytellers in action, using cultural icons, songs, gestures, different languages, voices, and noisy words in their stories. They captivate their audience and give you concrete examples of terrific storytelling techniques. Guests include international storytellers Eshu Bumpus and Motoko.

Use this lively DVD (part of the Words That Cook! set) to make family literacy a fun-filled part of everyday life. Included are an original half-hour show, and bonus material that features experts, parents, and children modeling enjoyable, simple family literacy practices. “Recipes for Success” provide creative tips, tools, and techniques for bringing literacy to life at home and in the classroom, and recommended booklists suggest expert-approved books for sharing.

Free viewing and workshop guide available.
