QUALITY STORYTENTS
A resource for family, early childhood and community literacy workers
There are many things to consider in planning a storytent. Since 1999, and especially during the summers of 2003 and 2004, community literacy workers in the storytent constantly evaluated their practices and made adjustments to find what worked best. The following sections represent a general set of successful practices that came from that self-reflection
Readers need to be aware that how we apply these practices changes from year to year, and sometimes from tent to tent. What is most important to us is whether or not children and families are finding the program useful, accessible and enjoyable.
