Inviting Storytelling Into Your Homeschool or Classroom

Every storyteller knows how effective stories are in the classroom, complementing every aspect of the core curriculum and learning style.

As a teaching artist and professional stor
yteller, I have taught over 700 children the art of Oral Tradition for the past eighteen years and witnessed firsthand how valuable it is for my students. It has augmented their learning in a variety of ways:

  • improved writing skills
  • enhanced vocabulary
  • increased cultural knowledge
  • sparked their imaginations
  • strengthened self-confidence
  • developed positive interaction with their peers

Many of my students continue to use story and storytelling in many areas of their classroom work, in elementary, high school, college and into the business arena. It is a lifelong skill that will always serve them well. 

Whether a child is learning remotely this year or has returned to the classroom, I hope you will consider merging storytelling into your activities, both to enlighten and entertain. To assist you I have compiled a variety of resources; while it is not an exhaustive list it is a useful starting point. You will find information and lesson plans on the following subjects, including articles, interviews, books and more. Here is an overview of the topics covered in this piece: 

  • Aesop Fables
  • American Folklore
  • Animal Fables
  • Art
  • Drama
  • English Language Arts
  • Fairytales
  • Folktales
  • Fractured Fairytales
  • Icebreakers
  • Lapsit Resources
  • Legends
  • Lesson Plans
  • Math
  • Myths
  • Science
  • Social Studies
  • STEAM
  • Storytelling in the Core Curriculum
  • Trickster Tales
  • World Cultures
  • Worksheets
  • Writing Prompts
