Growing Storytellers: A Helicopter Stories Podcast for anyone who works with children aged 2-7 years old.
Today's episode focus's on the notion of choosing to write. What makes children, especially those in the early years, choose to write, and how can we make the act of writing irresistable?
In a time where writing by hand happens less frequently, Helicopter Stories offers a time for children to witness the role writing plays in storing their words, so they can be acted out later. Listen, as we explore how finding value in the written word can serve as a gateway to children choosing to write.
In this episode we also talk about The Story Basket- a programme of audio only stories we have created for use in the Early Years classroom.
