Little Red Schoolhouse

A free printable resource for growing emotional awareness and practicing talking about and understanding feelings.

Thanks to Jane Cobb and her book What'll I Do With the Baby-O? for the story Mr. Wiggle and Mr. Waggle. We encourage you and your children to tell stories to ea...ch other, changing and adapting for your own delight. Listening to a story that's being told or read to you activates the auditory cortex of your brain. Engaging with a story also fires up your left temporal cortex, the region that is receptive to language. Vocabulary, comprehension, sequencing, memory and creative writing all benefit from storytelling. Storytelling improves listening skills that are essential in learning and in relationships, and encourages creative writing, creative thinking and problem solving. And, it's fun! See more
