Moreover, so much rote learning stifles the growth of young children’s ability to think creatively and critically. If children are reprimanded for giving a ‘wrong’ answer, this can harm self confidence and undermine their motivation to learn. This contrasts to the way young children are so often expected to give only ‘correct’ answers, which the teacher already knows. All Storyplay activities, over time, contribute towards young children becoming motivated, engaged, creative and critical literacy learners. We see how children become engrossed in their learning when they connect to various interesting opportunities to compose, write, draw retell stories and read. Adults use storybooks as stimuli for encouraging children to think, talk, and play imaginatively. Reading and writing progress among young children happens when they have regular and meaningful explorations with stories. PRAESA’s Storyplay work in the Ububele Story Schools Project takes place in crèches and grade R classrooms.
