Storytelling the Teacher Emil’s Way, Part Two
Part Two: The Beginning – Inviting the Story to Life
Most people begin storytelling on page one.
We begin before that.
In this lesson, you will learn how to unlock the power of the cover page — turning it into a moment of curiosity, communication, and imagination. This is where children start thinking, speaking, and connecting with the story before it even begins.
We focus on:
• Using the cover page to spark predictions and ideas
• Teaching appreciation and respect to the creators of the book simply by naming them
• Encouraging description, observation, and expression
• Building excitement, wonder, and emotional connection
Because when children are invited in early…
they stay with you for the entire journey.
