Description

"It enters on a mission of cheerfulness that has our best wishes...The art of storytelling is one of the most delightful accomplishments. Miss Bryant's book shall increase the interest in cultivating it." -The Unitarian Register "She is an expert on the likes and dislikes of small boys and girls." -The Christian Advocate "An attractive, handy-sized book which will be very interesting to all teachers and mothers. Miss Bryant is uncommonly well qualified to explain this art to others by virtue of her long experience as a teller of stories to audiences of young people and as a lecturer upon methods to their elders. How Miss Bryant appeals to her hearers is evidenced by one rather unusual experience. Her first professional engagement was with a large club in the suburbs of Boston, by whom she was very happily received. The next season she was engaged again - and also the following. Finally, the club made a practice of voting, at the annual meeting, 'to have Miss Bryant next year.' Other engagements of a similar sort have been in many places in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and Maryland. In most of these states, too, Miss Bryant has spoken before state institutes and teachers clubs." -The Interior "A very clever presentation of the psychology of the art of telling a story. The book contains many suitable stories which will serve the purpose both of entertainment and education, and shows how to adapt to different grades of children's intelligence the stories which are too long or too difficult." -Publishers Weekly "Suggestive to mothers and teachers. Many sample stories are included." -The Outlook "Will guide the inexperienced into the art of storytelling." -The PTA Magazine "Every teacher who can tell a story has in her possession a magic wand by which inattention may be overcome, quiet restored or won, lessons sent home to hearts and minds, conscience stimulated and character built. Every teacher may learn to tell a story....How to Tell Stories to Children will give a basis for study. Then practice and more practice, with the frank criticism of other teachers, will develop the art. To gain the ability to tell a story well is worth real sacrifice on the part of any teacher. Can you make little faces glow with pleasure, eyes open wide with interest and grow serious over the victory or defeat of the story children? To be able to do it is worth the price you may have to pay." -The Church School Journal CONTENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I THE PURPOSE OF STORY-TELLING IN SCHOOL CHAPTER II SELECTION OF STORIES TO TELL CHAPTER III ADAPTATION OF STORIES FOR TELLING CHAPTER IV HOW TO TELL THE STORY CHAPTER V SOME SPECIFIC SCHOOLROOM USES STORIES SELECTED AND ADAPTED FOR TELLING ESPECIALLY FOR KINDERGARTEN AND CLASS I.
