Title: Education by Storytelling
Description: In Education by Storytelling, Katherine Dunlap Cather presents storytelling as a foundational educational practice that supports cognitive, moral, and social development. Drawing on classroom experience and educational theory, she contends that stories cultivate imagination, ethical reflection, and attentive listening. Rather than viewing narrative as mere entertainment, Cather frames it as a structured pedagogical tool capable of transmitting cultural memory and values. The work situates storytelling within early childhood and elementary education, emphasizing its role in character formation and intellectual growth. The book remains influential in discussions of narrative-based pedagogy and holistic education.
