Title: When stories come to school
Description: This book offers preschool teachers, kindergarten teachers, daycare workers, and parents a natural way to help young children begin to read and write: placing stories at the very center of the early childhood curriculum. When Stories Come to School includes an in-depth discussion of the crucial pedagogical and developmental roles that stories can play in early childhood education, as well as a practical guide to having children tell their own stories and perform them with their classmates.
