Alexandra Chiorando – Bringing stories to life

Stories are powerful and magical. They allow us to connect, use our imaginations and voices and travel to other places together. Through stories, children begin to develop empathy, understanding and a deeper sense of the world around them.

In a world where many children increasingly rely on screens, shared story time offers something uniquely human. It creates opportunity for connection, emotional development and relationships. Storytime also supports language development and oracy.

In this webinar, Alexandra Chiorando will share practical and engaging ways to bring stories to life with young children. She will explore how storytelling can include sitting and listening, while also being enriched through movement, props and role play to deepen children’s engagement.

This session will focus on inclusive approaches that support all children, including those who may find traditional story times more challenging, offering ideas that can be used immediately in early years settings.
