The Pleasure of Reading is a storytelling programme for children of 7 to 9
years. The programme consists of one-hour storytelling sessions which are held
once a week. Each session features the sharing of stories from a variety of
books, and other fun activities for this age group. Besides enhancing the
listener’s reading, the animated storytelling session provides a means for
passing on information, identifying with and empathising with others. The
storyteller colours the way the listener shapes the story, uses rich oral
language and allows participating children to express themselves by creating a
play and multisensory experience. Through methodology the children understand
the story has a sequence of events which pose a problem, together as a group
they try to solve the problem, find solutions through discussion and role play.
