Synopsis
Reading is a thinking activity. We read better when our brains are switched on. Activities before reading and activities after reading switch on our brains and keep them switched on. Both types of activities offer fertile ground for dialogue between students and between students and teachers. This workshop explains such activities and provides participants with opportunities to experience these activities and to plan their own. These reading activities can be conducted for upper primary and lower secondary level.

Synopsis
In this hands-on workshop, adults will learn how to tell stories orally using unusual props, that is, using open ended materials, to guide their audience’s imagination and later facilitate their retelling of the story. This workshop is suitable for storytellers who target young audiences aged 2 to 10 years old. By manipulating props to tell a story, abstract concepts such as sequencing become concrete, thus more easily understood by young children.
