Storyteller, songwriter and musician Susan Weber wants teachers to harness the power of a storyteller's movement and sound to teach phonemic awareness, word recognition, fluency and vocabulary acquisition. In this workshop, teachers learn how to tell captivating stories by making the most of body language, facial expression and vocal expressiveness. Susan gives teachers ample experience with stories, songs, movement and chants that are chock full of rhyming words and patterns, rhythmic movement, sound effects, the repetition of shared phonemes and rich vocabulary.
