Benefits of interactive storytelling for children
From oral storytelling to early years music and rhymes, storytelling dances and interactive visual storytelling, Rogan believes that storytelling is a powerful medium, which has the potential to enhance and even change a young person’s life. Everyone possesses an ability to tell stories and Rogan has the knowledge, skills, and experience to entertain, inspire and instruct in this age-old art form.
It can be difficult to overstate the benefits of instilling a love of reading in a child. Stories are one of the best ways to teach young children to decode and read words, widen their imaginations, and discover more about the world and themselves. Rogan encourages children to join in using props, instruments and their own imaginations. By employing traditional oral storytelling skills pupils can explore themes, characters, and history.
Oral storytelling offers many benefits to young children’s learning, as well as their social and emotional development. Interactive storytelling for children extends their language and communication skills, triggers critical thinking skills, enhances literacy learning, and encourages social development – helping to build resilience, self-confidence, and self-esteem.
