Story Land

Ah... the unparalleled experience Story Land can offer to every boy and girl who visits this magical room. Story Land is a simulation of stories set up by the teachers to encourage the children on the love for reading. Our first year of setting up this wonderful land of stories was a huge success that it has been a part of our Literacy Month. 

Within the four corners of the room, we assigned different genres to showcase stories and books accordingly. This is not only an enticing way to lure the children to read but to allow them to understand the different genres such as fairy tales, fables, classic, adventure, and the like. We start by transforming the room into story land, bringing in books and books and books, putting them on shelves, adding decorations and props to enhance imagination, providing cushions, rubber mats, and any other form of cozy reading space. Teachers dressed up to impersonate characters. We also had some parents and visitors invited to be our storytellers. It makes a difference to have someone from the outside to come in and tell stories to the children. The sparkle and joy in their eyes can't be denied.  Every inch story land offers is a lifetime treasure the children keep as they continue their journey not only in reading but in real life situation. I always concur that literacy is one of the greatest inventions the world has ever known:)
