Right Approach For Story Telling
As much as storytelling
is important, it is also important to make sure that it is being told in the
right way. The 7 points mentioned below will help you understand these
techniques and become a better storyteller:
1. Length Of The Story
A story should neither
be too short nor too long. A short story might not be able to deliver the right
message, while a long one might become boring and uninteresting. So, decide the
length by keeping your audience in mind.
2. Comfortable Setting
Choose a comfortable
space to read out the story. The place should create the perfect mood and
ambiance for storytelling.
3. A Proper Introduction
If you are telling it
from memory, let your child know where you heard the story or who you heard it
from. Tell them how it helped you and how you think it will benefit your
audience. Try to create an interest right from the start.
4. Proper Expressions
While narrating a story,
make sure to use proper hand gestures and facial expressions. You can also make
different sounds or ask your child to do so to make storytelling as interesting
as possible.
5. Loud But Slow
Make sure you speak
loudly but at a slow pace. Your voice should be able to depict the right kind
of emotions as mentioned in the story. Vary your voice, tone, pitch as per the
requirement of the story and use pauses at appropriate places.
6. Involve Your Children
Try to involve your
children by using various phrases or by asking them questions like ‘Do you
know?’ You can also ask them to find out the message conveyed through the
story, thereby making them more involved.
