The potential of storytelling as an educational tool is not fully realised in learning contexts. Louise discusses storytelling as a vehicle for children to experience an increased sense of community and literacy development, as well as enhancing knowledge, memory recall and creative potential. She presents a program that she designed for preschoolers and discusses the outcomes that emerged from their responses to the stories that were told.
