Story Teller Training Sessions

Kindle Corner

Our main objective is to build confidence and create a passion and meaning to reading in every child, across the borough of Camden(Literacy framework July 2021 addresses the importance of creating a passion for reading to help a child thrive and succeed in life). In addition, our sessions are purposeful. We don’t pick up a random book and just read to the children … boring!!

Our kindle corner sessions are meaningful because we teach children about all the factors that encompass our planet , ecology, sustainability, climate change, global warming , CO2 emission, people & careers, health living and Welbeing, sports , religions and cultures,community cohesion. We are cultivating Concepts which are invaluable for a child to learn and develop in order to appreciate and understand the make up of the natural world and it’s surroundings.

So that children will feel a sense of belonging and have an understanding of what we and others do has an affect on the our environment and our community/humanity.

We teach these morals and values throughout the duration of our session in a fun and interactive style; which comprise of ; oracy, speaking and listening ,open and closed questions , acting in role of the characters in the stories (empathising with the character), talk to their talk partner to resolve matters to resolve in the narrative, hands on activities using sustainable materials (recycle and reuse unwanted materials to make things relating to the story). Children are given opportunities to lead and much more !

Sessions are lead by a kindle corner storyteller. Sessions begin with children choosing a soft toy to cuddle and use as a prop , they take it home to encourage them to tell stories and play with throughout the week. This is followed by an activity and a healthy eating snack to end the session. Children’s efforts are rewarded and celebrated through praise ,stickers,prizes and parties!!

Kindle corner sessions not only creates an inspiration and love for reading in ‘little minds’, but ,builds a foundation to love and take responsibility for the community and the environment they are to blossom and grow in.

Your role will be to work in a team in order to deliver a story telling session to children and their families. Managing the behaviour of a group of children through praising and rewarding their efforts.
