Sommario/riassunto

In accountability cultures, early childhood educators often find it hard to make space for children's own stories. Storytelling in Early Childhood



explores the multiple dimensions of storytelling and story acting and shows how they enrich language and literacy learning, to contribute to an inclusive classroom culture that embraces young children's diverse interests and learning needs. Foregrounding the power of children's own stories in the early years and primary classroom, it provides evidence that storytelling and story acting, a pedagogic approach first developed by Paley, affords rich opportunities to foster learning within a play-based and language rich curriculum.
