Gateway to Writing

Storytelling is a powerful tool that we use successfully in primary schools as a gateway to writing . Utilising various techniques such as storymapping , Storyhands and Japanese Kamishibai storytelling ,we help young learners explore and learn stories so that they gain the confidence and enthusiasm required to progress into writing.

Single workshops run for around 90 minutes,but these can be part of a continuing project with classes or selected groups .

Please do get in touch to discuss these options . #gatewaytowriting
