Synopsis

Discover why fairy tales matter in child life and how careful storytelling supports learning. This practical guide explains the value of fairy tales in education, shows how to choose tales for young readers, and offers methods for telling stories in classroom and home settings. It draws on history, theory, and classroom practice to help teachers, librarians, and parents use tales to develop imagination, language, and moral understanding.

Why use fairy tales with children? The book argues that tales bring joy, spark curiosity, and build the skills children need for reading, listening, and thinking. It also presents clear criteria for selecting stories that fit a child’s interests and development, and it describes how to present tales in a way that strengthens the connection between storyteller and listener.

• How fairy tales support language training, memory, and observation


• Principles for choosing tales that match children's interests and emotional needs


• Techniques for telling tales with voice, gesture, and presence


• Ways stories relate to structure, character, setting, and moral themes

Ideal for educators, parents, and anyone building a fairy-tale program for little readers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from A Study of Fairy Tales

One of the problems of present-day education is to secure for the entire school system, from the kindergarten to the university, a curriculum which shall have a proved and permanent value. In this curriculum literature has established itself as a subject of unquestioned worth. But children's literature, as that distinct portion of the subject literature written especially for children or especially suited to them, is only beginning to take shape and form. It seems necessary at this time to work upon the content of children's literature to see what is worthy of a permanent place in the child's English, and to dwell upon its possibilities. A consideration of this subject has convinced me of three points: (1) that literature in the kindergarten and elementary school should be taught as a distinct subject, accessory neither to reading nor to any other subject of the curriculum, though intimately related to them; (2) that it takes training in the subject to teach literature to little children; (3) that the field of children's literature is largely untilled, inviting laborers, embracing literature which should be selected from past ages down to the present.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
