Storytelling supports children's language and literacy skills, social and emotional development, creativity and its fundamentally human nature. We tell stories to share information, impart wisdom and keep loved ones informed about our days. Early Childhood Educators can take advantage of children’s love of hearing stories and a desire to tell stories and use storytelling to promote children’s cognitive and literacy development.
