Come, sit down, let me tell you a story. I will tell you tales of old and of new. I will take you on journeys to places you have fond memories of, or to places you have never been. I will take you to old places filled with God and to young places filled with love. We will go to the places of laughter and tears. When I have told you all my stories, I will sit quietly and listen to your stories. And when we are through, we will sit together, quiet, in that space between dark and dawn and listen as the earth breathes her stories into the silence. Come, sit down, let me tell you a story.

With out oralcy there is no literacy. This program is designed to help teachers and students prepare for the literacy tests by helping the students learn to write and tell their own stories. We will be using various tools provided in the Six Traits of Writing program and in Story Boarding, the techniques are consistent with students abilities in each grade level. Originally designed for grades K-5, this program can be adapted to students abilities in each grade level, K-12. To schedule a program for your school or class or to learn more about this program contact me at contact@lphillipstales.com
"Lauretta kept 50 4th & 5th graders enchanted for over an hour. When she
was finished they still wanted more."
"Picture this - A group of kids sitting around on bales of hay under the
storytelling tent, At the same time a target shoot was going on a little
bit away and a petting zoo was right across from from the tent. Still the
kids remained sitting on the bales of hay listening to the storyteller.
Lauretta was that teller."

"Your stories and the transition from one to the other in this program was seamless. The flow was excellent. The stories carried us to many different emotional places." "Last night you allowed your love for storytelling to shine through every word you said - yes I liked your story, but I really liked the way you told it - I believe you gave everyone there last night a true gift of yourself." |
