The answer is a resounding YES!
My Magical Story Journal will help young children
to:
1. explore ideas
2. spell correctly
3. write simple sentences
4. draw and use colour
5. extend their concentration span
6. describe characters
7. relay values and positive behaviours
8. explore story scenes or settings
9. write a narrative
10. story re-telling
It will also enable children to foster a community
of enquiry at home or school and to connect fun and exciting
concepts for stories.
My Magical Story Journal
will also help adults to
foster a community of enquiry at home, work or in other daily
aspects of life. It will help caring parents connect with their
children, or with those whom they care for or teach.
How fabulous when a young child
can read their story to their parent, grandparent, carer or
teacher.
This gives them a love of how to use language to construct meaning
and deliver a message. This is what it means to be human.
"Dear Melinda,
It was lovely to see you
yesterday and to be present at the launch of your book.
I hope it will be the first of many of its kind.
The venue, the beautiful weather and the happy atmosphere
each contributed to a memorable afternoon for me.
Good luck with the sales!" Anne Marks, Lecturer/International Student Coordinator,
