Storytelling Time 📖
Activity Overview
In January, Jhong Siao Elementary School organized an English Storytelling Activity for lower grades (Grades 1–3). This activity focused on developing students’ listening skills and encouraging a love for English through storytelling.
Story 1: 🦁 The Lion and the Mouse 🐭
The story “The Lion and the Mouse” was read to students in an open outdoor area. Students stood together and listened carefully as the story was read aloud. This open setting created an exciting and relaxed storytelling experience and helped keep students engaged and attentive.

Story 2: Dear Zoo 🐆
The second story, “Dear Zoo,” was read in the school library. Students were seated in a semi-circle, allowing them to clearly see the book and listen closely to the story. The quiet library environment helped students focus and enjoy the story.

Question and Answer Session
After each story, students participated in a question and answer session. Students answered simple questions about the story to check their understanding and encourage speaking in English. This interaction helped build confidence and active participation.

Rewards and Participation
Students who actively participated in the storytelling and answered questions received small prizes, such as stationery items. These rewards motivated students and made the storytelling activity even more enjoyable and students will be willing to come and participate when there is another story telling activity.
