Publisher's Synopsis
Storytelling since time immemorial has offered wonderful teaching and learning opportunities. When we read stories to children a window is opened through which we can impart valuable information, offer philosophical life lessons that help develop positive social skills as wiell as broaden vocabulary and improve communication skills and encourage imagination... as long as we can keep their attention. As educators, care givers and parents we strive to not only "Keep their attention" but nurture and help them develop a true and lasting love of reading which may in turn open doors for them in the future. With Classrooms & Clubs StoryLines(c) & Puzzles group activities do not take that "cookie cutter" approach of the individual creation format, there are no sides to choose, no winners or losers as many games require, instead Classroom and Clubs StoryLines (c) and Puzzles offer activity projects designed to have the children working as a team to create ONE project together.
