Sharing with Stories: Holiday Books and Storytelling
It's a great time of year for sharing stories! Storytelling enhances children's language development, listening skills and critical/creative thinking skills. It also teaches about the use of language, narrative form, and values. We hope these holiday books and storytelling activities will help to make your classroom holiday celebrations memorable!
