Semillitas de Aprendizaje™ Storytelling & Storyreading Videos DVD
Storytelling has been with us throughout human history. There is a strong connection between the teller and listener and a unique kind of engagement with the story. Both storytelling and storyreading support learning in the classroom and provide different kinds of literacy experiences for students. This DVD is the newest feature of IDRA’s bilingual (Spanish/English) supplemental early childhood curriculum. The engaging DVD contains the 10 Semillitas de Aprendizaje™ stories told in two styles: storyreading (in English) and storytelling (in Spanish). Available from IDRA for $20. One copy of the DVD is included in the Semillitas de Aprendizaje Classroom Master Set.
