Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This type of storytime offers a blending of the literary arts (with the stories) with a physical activity, thus engaging the aural, visual and kinesthetic senses. It also creates a longer lasting impression on young children of books that are read and “stretched to.”

Measurable Outcome(s)

Parents and preschoolers loved the interactive activity and acting favorite book characters. Instructor shared games and activities that can be continued at home.
