Our local libraries approached our storytelling group asking if there would be anyone interested in being a guest storyteller during the summer reading program.
I said yes.
The age group is 5 – 9 year olds, older than I’m use to.
The theme of the the reading club is Strange, but True.
So I started searching for stories and found a great resource of audio stories called “Scary Stories” by Alvin Schwartz. A lot of the stories are quite scary for this age group but I did find four that I was comfortable telling and kind of fit in with the theme.
I do one session today then another at a different library on Monday.
But I`ll have a fellow storyteller with me for that one.
I`ll let you know how it went.

“There’s Room For One More”
"Bess"
"Cemetery Soup"
"Cold As Clay"
Waaay back in another life when I taught grade 4 and 5 in the Canadian arctic, my students LOVED the Scary Stories books. What fun being a guest story teller at the library. \

Wow Sandi you have vast and varied experiences teaching. I`m sure the experience in the Canadian arctic must have been amazing.
