Storytelling for Children

Give your children a different bedtime experience. Book a 25 minute storytelling session delivered via Zoom. Ten different themed sessions. Five stories per session.

These sessions are meant to entertain and develop a child's imagination. They also strengthen a child's listening and comprehension skills.

Sit with your children as a participant or finish a task while your children are captivated by some traditional tales.

I have used storytelling extensively throughout my career, as a counsellor at children's camps, as a Scout leader, as an ESL tutor and as a father of three boys.

C$10 for a session. Contact me at

Shakespeare

Shakespeare. He is considered the greatest writer in English and his writing is the standard by which other authors are measured. His use of the English language is both complex and accessible. In Canada, where I live, there is the town of Stratford, Ontario, where his plays are still performed although they are over 400 years old. His plays are studied in school and scholars continue to examine his plays for interpretation and relevance. He is to the English language what Sir Isaac Newton was to science. Shakespeare has contributed more idioms to English than anyone else. Here are some examples.

Heart of Gold         from     Henry V

Wild-goose chase    from   Romeo and Juliet

Dead as a doornail    from Henry IV part 2

Its Greek to me    from Julius Caesar

All the world's a stage from As You Like It
