Storytelling in the Classroom

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What makes story telling special? Young readers demonstrate how to tell a story to others. Kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders read biographies of "Building Blocks" characters and tell a story about a character to their classmates. They use pictures to help tell their story creatively.
