Wonderful Shoes – Interactive Storytime and Guided Craft Activity

Emma loves to have a stamp-stompingly good time with children in the Early Years and lower Primary School settings through her interactive Wonderful Shoes storytime.

This session also includes a guided craft activity for making ‘Story Spoon’ storytelling props.

Topic covered:

• Sharing a love for quality picture books and early years reading from birth; emphasizing the fun to be had with picture books and the many places they can be accessed and read.
• Interactive storytime reading of Wonderful Shoes, using Emma’s basket of shoes which dovetail with the shoes in her story.
• Discussion of where authors get their story ideas from; story arc and story recount; text connections; visual storytelling; themes; special action words and adjectives used in the story.
• Crafting Story Spoons for Wonderful Shoes. And demonstrating how they can be used by the children for storytelling - enhancing both fine and gross motor skills; speech and expressive language; and social/emotional behaviour.
