Story telling is not only a curriculum taught at school academic, people have been using the story telling techniques to safeguard and transfer the history of the culture of their own tribes and the successes of their fore fathers.
Our grandmothers have been telling the stories to us traditionally, for which children have seen to have good engagement with it and our mothers have been using the storytelling as before going to bed activity. Our grandmothers are best story tellers.
The storytelling is a technique which catches the concentration, focus and curiosity of the listeners. It is very important for teachers and parents to understand and learn the storytelling techniques so that children learn well and reflect through the stories delivered to them.
Children instinctively love books and stories as they are introduced to wonderful ideas, concepts, places, and creatures which they have not encountered or come across before.
Instead of reading the stories to them and telling them to rote learn and write the story in exam the story should come live in the lives of children through imagination.
All the subject teachers should be a storyteller, even a maths teacher while explaining the concepts can use the storytelling techniques to introduce the new concepts to the children. Suppose an example while teaching children about a line, can you make a story of two houses where one house is point 'A' and another house is point 'B' and create a small story to teach them how point A to point B connects and becomes a line.
Same thing goes with science, environmental science, social studies etc.
