The Brave Little Tailor

When a hardworking tailor emerges from his work, delighted about his feat of killing seven flies with one swat, the townspeople mistakenly assume he is talking about the subject on everyone's mind: giants! Before the tailor realises the mix-up, the king commissions him to go into the woods and stop the giants who have been terrorising nearby towns.

Commitment #5 : Encourage oral tradition and reading as a means of sharing

For very young children, reading means being told a story. Based on this observation, the Storyplay'r teams have placed sharing at the center of the proposed uses: recording and sharing of narrations, reading workshops, readings with projection, shared online readings...

This idea of sharing is at the heart of the partnership that Storyplay'r has set up with the Association 'Lire et faire lire', the Ligue de l'Enseignement and the Union Nationale des Associations Familiales. Storyplay'r helps Lire et Faire Lire volunteers to share their pleasure of reading by allowing them to record and share their narration with children in elementary school and other educational structures (leisure centers, day care centers, libraries).

By subscribing to Storyplay'r, you also allow us to keep alive this partnership and the beautiful mission we share with Lire et Faire Lire.
