Involving Parents in Tales Toolkit Stories
We have been using Tales Toolkit in our setting since September. We have been so impressed with the impact it has had on the children in so many different ways – improved confidence, concentration, creativity and motivation to record their ideas to name a few.
Our parents have also shown great interest in Tales Toolkit appearing in our setting and have been asking lots of questions about the symbols and resources. We have had some lovely comments when children have taken home booklets or big stories that they have created at school.
We were really keen to involve our parents in Tales Toolkit and so we felt a good way to do this, was to send home a story strip after a group story, featuring a photograph of the 4 elements used in our big bags.
