Storytelling as a teaching tool Thursday, July 9, 2009 - 17:15

The power of storytelling as a teaching tool - held by NIACE in Leeds, on Friday 10 July 2009 - demonstrated ways in which storytelling can be used to engage learners, leading them towards reading for pleasure.

The events were delivered by a professional storyteller - who shared a range of stories - and participants were given lesson plans for four lessons and beyond.

The events awere inspired by a free resource called Storytelling, available from the Reading for Pleasure website. The website hosts a range of resources funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and developed by NIACE specifically for practitioners working with adults.

More events are due to take place in Durham this September.
