Inclusion Matters

Cindy Croft and Priscilla Weigel wrap up their series with Maria Asp and Laura Mann Hill from the Children’s Theatre by focusing on ways early childhood professionals can infuse their settings with storytelling. They share ideas for dramatic play, numerous ways to explore and show feelings, and ways to use open ended questions to encourage children to tell their own stories. You can use these same strategies in your program to help children increase language skills and confidence in their own 'stories'.
