Question

Explain how storytelling can be used to extend a child s experiences of literature

Answer 1

Stories are important in a child’s life because they enhance their understanding of different aspects in life such as certain cultural and gender roles. In addition, they help in the development of children’s literacy skills and in shaping their perspective of reality. Moreover, it is through stories that children understand how characters behave, and this fosters their behaviour in real life.
