Educator CPD
Supporting Schools
Here at Seven Stories, we strongly believe that storytelling and stories have the transformative ability to connect children to the world around them, allowing them to develop new language, vocabulary and confidence, leading to a better understanding across the wider curriculum.
We also believe that our storytelling workshops can help educators gain the necessary skill set needed to deliver inspiring storytimes and to grow a culture of reading for pleasure within their setting.
Our years of experience working with diverse audiences to deliver inspiring storytimes and our child centred approach is the key to our success. Here at Seven Stories we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge and experience through our unique and practical approach to storytelling. Our CPD workshops will help you gain new skills to increase creativity, build confidence and support readers of all abilities.
