Storytime!

While I’m not professional or experienced enough to give good advice regarding story telling targeting preschooler audiences, I would like to share this wonderful clip on how author Mercer Mayer tells his story of "There’s An Alligator Under My Bed"; this book is available in the library and I’m sure you will be able to capture your child’s attention by reading it the way the author did.

Additionally, if you have difficulty getting your preschooler’s attention despite reading to them the all-time-favourite Dr Seuss classic collection, you can try tuning into the following clips for tips (for tips, i meant trying to imitate how the reader read that book ) on how to pace your reading and voice tonation (and also how to pronounce some of the ‘nonsensical’ words).

Dr Seuss ABC

Mr Brown can Moo

Green Eggs and Ham
