Story skills
RockABaby
is now offering two programmes – Little Story
Tellers, for toddlers aged 18 to 30 months, and Story Creation,
for kids aged 30 months to five years – which use children’s
favourite stories to strengthen their expressive language and
presentation skills. Approved by a speech and language
therapist, the curriculum helps facilitate children’s early literacy
and phonological awareness through storytelling, reading
aloud, role-play and creating their own stories. These dynamic
classes, with fun and interactive activities, are sure to get
children’s creative juices flowing and to make story time rock!
