National Storytelling Week

3/2/2023

Comments

 
National Storytelling Week takes place every year and is a celebration of the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world, they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy, they help us to relax and escape and they can help develop essential literacy skills.

In 2022, nearly 2 in 5 (37.5%) children and young people said they enjoyed listening to audio either very much or quite a lot (find out more in this research report)

We’re passionate about encouraging children’s writing and storytelling - why not download our Green Bean Writing Paper and get your children to make up their own stories? Download them here:

National Storytelling Week resources for early years through to KS3  from the National Literacy Trust 
For 2023 we have developed new classroom resources to help you to celebrate National Storytelling Week in your schools and settings. All resources include practical ideas for learning opportunities that aim to foster a love of storytelling whilst developing pupils' speaking and listening skills through chances to explore and listen to stories, as well as tell their own.
Early years
  • Supporting early years children to tell stories - a range of practical ideas that you can experiment with and adapt to make the most of the space and resources you have available, exploring ideas such as: role-play, outdoor learning, use of technology and puppets.
  • Using story sacks - example guides on how to make and use a story sack.
Primary (KS1 and KS2)
  • Become a storyteller - a teacher guide and learning sequence that can be adapted and delivered across the primary age range, taking pupils on a journey to become confident storytellers with a focus on developing oracy skills. Addressing the speaking and listening strands of National curricula, this resource will support you to host a storytelling event in your school, where pupils will explore, retell and perform traditional folk and fairy-tales.
Secondary (KS3)
  • Podcasts in the classroom - a detailed guide for secondary teachers that explores the benefits of listening to podcasts, including age-appropriate recommendations, along with a suggested learning sequence full of practical ideas to develop student's listening and speaking skills.
