Fairy Story Table Kit

What Are Story Tables?

Story tables provide excellent literacy experiences as children use props to sequence, recount, and retell stories. This process helps them grasp concepts about print in an engaging manner.

How to Use Your Fairies Story Table Kit

Setting Up:

• Find a quiet area in your classroom for the story table.
• Cover part of the table with the provided fabric.
• Arrange the various props in an interesting and inviting manner.
• Place the writing tools provided on the table, along with any other tools you have available, such as notebooks, coloured paper, and whiteboards.
• Display the original shared story about Fairies along with any other Fairy books and pictures you have.

The Role of the Teacher:

• Introduce the Fairies Story Table in an engaging way, ensuring the children know that everything on the table should remain there.
• Observe the children discreetly while they play, taking note of the language they use and any writing that can be addressed later during group instructional time.
• Provide feedback to the children only after the play session has concluded. Since this type of play is imaginative and creative, the teacher’s role is primarily observational rather than participatory.
