The USM Children's Book Festival was held April 7-9, 2010.This conference was inspiring and informative. Outstanding authors and storytellers spoke and entertained us.
I led a workshop about different ways to share stories with children. Often teachers and librarians are locked in to using picture books with their students but there are many other fun ways to hold their attention and enjoy stories together.
I recommend the following:
Telling stories using mime or sign language
Telling stories with an echo, chant, or call and response
Telling stories using a storytelling apron or flannelgraph board
Telling stories that you draw or cut out
Telling stories using puppets
Interactive storytelling is always engaging and fun!
