Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the cornerstones of literacy and all four are addressed in this action-packed workshop. After hearing stories and retelling them to their peers, students will apply their knowledge of story structure and effective storytelling techniques to create and dramatize a new story, using their phonemic skills to spell sound effects and recognize vocabulary words.
