Description

Each week one migrantparent tells story to children. Teachers work with the parents to get ready for the storytelling, help them select the story, provide some effective and interactive story telling techniques so children can enjoy. Parents can conduct exercises with children related to the story content for better understanding and learning of children. Teacher will provide technical support to the parents and help to facilitate storytelling.
