Using Dramatic Play to Enhance & Support Your Children’s Literacy Skills
Dramatic play is not only one of the most natural ways that young children learn about themselves and others, it is an excellent tool for building their literacy skills. If you’ve ever played “peek-a-boo” with an infant, pretended to talk on the telephone with a toddler, had preschoolers play with dress-up clothes or watched school-age children put on a magic show, you have helped children engage in dramatic play. In this class we will talk about ways to engage children with stories, props and “make-believe” play. We will make a cup puppet, and story box. This class will be using techniques and ideas taught in classes at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland.
