National Storytelling Week

Throughout all of our history and across every culture, people have told each other stories for a variety of reasons – to inspire others, to share important morals and lessons or simply to pass the time. National Storytelling Week is a yearly event run by the Society for Storytelling that celebrates the tradition of storytelling and aims to inspire a whole new generation of storytellers.

Finding the time to read with children can often be difficult, but National Storytelling Week provides a wonderful opportunity for you to highlight the importance of reading and storytelling. No matter whether they’re keen readers or they’re a bit more hesitant to get involved, there’s no better time to get everyone together and appreciate the magic of a great story.
