QUALITY STORYTENTS
A resource for family, early childhood and community literacy workers
What we hope to have provided in this document are guidelines on how to start and run a Quality Storytent program in your neighbourhood. Your program will probably look different from what is described here, and we think that is okay. We developed this program in response to the community we were serving, and community responsiveness is a principle we recommend. Many of our successes came about because of our freedom to re-create the program through reflection and talking with the community. We now know we have a program that works in our context and we invite you to try it in your community.
As part of our reflection and research, we are very interested in hearing about your experiences doing this kind of work. If you have any questions or are willing to share your own reflections, please feel free to contact us.
