Sensory stories

As with anything in schools, there are a number of planned learning intentions or outcomes that link with sensory stories.

Have you heard of multi-sensory storytelling? It's a fun way to support engagement and interactions with the story you're reading, as well as vocabulary development! "The cross-study results are clear: a greater number of sensory experiences support early lexical acquisition and recognition" (Seidl et al., 2023).

Make sensory bags to go along with one of our favorite storybooks, Going on a Bear Hunt!

Just wanted to send a big thank you for the sensory storytime this morning! It was terrific! … My four-year old LOVED it and I think I’m even more excited than he is as the event stirred up a lot of great ideas for activities I can do with my kids at home! Thank you thank you!!! This wonderful feedback was given to me by a grateful mom after I did my first Sensory Storytime for children with autism and other developmental disabilities. She and her son have attended every sensory storytime…

We're going on a bear hunt by Michael Rosen is a classic, well#loved children's book. Have fun retelling the story through sensory play!
