Tell A Story, Act it Out: Nurturing Oral Language and Literacy in Children from Birth to Age 5

One of the most impactful ways to support young children’s language and literacy development is by encouraging storytelling. In this session, participants will explore how storytelling and story acting can foster key literacy skills through playful, interactive activities. Storytelling allows children to create and share their own stories, while story acting brings those stories to life through imaginative play and performance. These activities naturally engage children in building important language foundations, including new vocabulary, understanding story structure, exploring print, and recognizing how writing communicates ideas.
--------- Facilitator Bio: The Canadian Children’s Literacy Foundation (CCLF) is committed to ensuring that all children in Canada, particularly those from underserved communities, become proficient readers and achieve their full potential. We accomplish this by leveraging existing systems and resources to provide critical foundational literacy support to children. A reminder as this is a free session, ECDA has a payment policy for this-- Failure to attend will result in a $20 Admin fee being applied to your account, and you must pay this prior to attending any future free sessions. This policy has been implemented due to many no-shows at events. We value our facilitators and their time, and we often have to cap session capacity so not showing up for an event impacts others who may have wanted to attend. Participants will be given the link to the video and are required to participate in one of two ways-- with a microphone/built in speaker or through the chat. In addition there will be a log tracking which members contribute and which do not, and those that do not contribute will not receive PD hours. We ask that you leave your camera on for the session.
