We know children love to tell and retell stories. But story retelling is a powerful strategy for teachers, coaches and administrators who must help children meet standards. In fact, story retelling is a standard in the Common Core State Standards for kindergarten and in many state early learning standards. Join national early childhood experts Cate Heroman and Carol Aghayan for an engaging, lively session about story retelling. During this webinar, you will learn what story retelling is and why it is an important. You will also find out how story retelling skills develop over time and the key role teacher-child interactions play in scaffolding and guiding literacy learning.
