From Stage Fright To Page Turner - Storytelling Strategies

Chip Colquoun is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate the art of storytelling. He discusses the differences between telling stories live versus writing them down. While live storytelling allows for body language and audience engagement, writing opens up opportunities for reader participation. Chip talks about learning this through his first unsuccessful children's book. He explains the importance of including conflict, hope, and relatable characters according to the BME survival model of stories. Chip recommends techniques for parents to engage kids through reading, like having a conversational style instead of performing. He promotes his new story collection and online storytelling workshops at epic tales.co.uk to help more people experience the empowering benefits of stories.
