Story Sacks
What is a story sack?
A story sack is a collection of props and a good quality children's book, often grouped together in a sack or a basket/tray etc which is a tool to develop early literacy skills in a fun and meaningful way.
Story sacks are used to bring a story/nursery rhyme to life and provide a multi-sensory approach to the reading process. The story/nursery rhyme props might include representations of the characters, scenery, and of course the book or a copy of the nursery rhyme that you would like to use.
Story sacks are a fantastic way to build on a child's imagination and help them to develop role play ideas around the story. Act out different parts of the story with your child, take on different character roles, and retell the story.
