"My students were SO happy when” the storytellers “would show up! They’d yell, “YESSSSS!” 🙂 It was always a great start to our day! :)” – Homestead Elementary, 2nd Grade Teacher
They “are amazing storytellers. They keep the kids engaged and tell stories from different cultures.” – High Plains Elementary, 2nd Grade Teacher
“Our goal was to have students love reading. To hear stories told is just one way to share that love.” – Highline Elementary, 4th Grade Teacher
“It helps to enhance our reading and listening skills” – Belleview Elementary, Kindergarten Teacher
“It is so nice for students to hear stories told in a different way, rather than being read to from a book. It allows the students to learn that telling stories is another way of learning and being exposed to literature.” – Cherry Hills Village, 5th Grade Teacher
“It brings the community into our school and allows students to visualize in a new way.” – Belleview Elementary, 5th Grade Teacher
