MAKING UP STORIES - Create fun times and magical moments with your child making up your own stories from scratch. Time spent making up stories with, and for, children is huge fun and extremely beneficial for the imagination, development and relationship of both child and adult. It is an empowering activity for those who don t find reading aloud very easy. But even excellent readers can lack the confidence to get started. Making Up Stories uses the basic building blocks of storytelling (who, what, where, why, when), enlivened with inspirational suggestions, to awaken the readers' imagination. They'll soon be making up their own stories. With the help of delightful illustrations, the booklet points out sources of inspiration that are already at your fingertips and you and your child will soon be creating (and even keeping a record of) a story world of your very own.

How to ENJOY READING ALOUD to Young Children Edmund Pegge and Alison Shakspeare A DIFFERENT kind of booklet for parents, How to ENJOY READING ALOUD to Young Children is about HOW to read with expression and confidence, making sharing stories with children much more rewarding and enjoyable - for both adult and child. How to ENJOY READING ALOUD to Young Children is full of easy to follow techniques and advice using short extracts from well-loved children's stories, such as Giraffes Don't Dance, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Thomas the Tank Engine. The colourful Voice Coach takes the reader through sections dealing with making noises, doing voices, showing feelings and being scary. The skills learned and the confidence gained from using How to ENJOY READING ALOUD to Young Children, offer a solid foundation for making sharing books a daily pleasure for adults and children. The techniques illustrated are distilled from Edmund Pegge's resource for teachers 'Expressive Speech', based on his experience as a stage and screen actor and the regular poetry and creative writing workshops he runs in the UK and Australia. Free notes are provided (click here to download), with suggestions about running a workshop for parents, after which you could send them away with a copy of How to ENJOY READING ALOUD to Young Children. The price per booklet can be little more than $3 per copy.
