Working the Story

Here are some common downfalls for many tellers.
Tell the children to watch themselves with their inner eye as they tell the story to notice where they can improve. Some things to watch for are:

vocal volume
eye contact
fidgeting (know what your body is doing the entire time)
rocking or pacing
playing with sleeves or jewelry
failure to breathe
not knowing story
pacing
too many gestures
verb tense and slang; using like, well, goes, so, anyway
not enough practice.

Happy Telling!
