Product Description

Book Description

Storywise is a fascinating resource that harnesses the power of familiar stories to open up a space for children's thinking. This publication, the Storywise Starter Pack, comes in two parts. The first is a Teachers' Guidance Book of ideas and methods for leading children into high-quality thinking and dialogue about all kinds of stories. The second is an expandable starter-pack of ideas and learning materials for three classic picture books along with a Web of Intriguing Ideas that teachers can use with many other stories, poems and pictures for all ages. More Storywise material will be available in the future.

Storywise is a radically updated and re-written version of Dr. Karin Murris' ground-breaking project: Teaching Philosophy Through Picture Books. The benefits for children of that project will remain (introduction to philosophical dialogue, improvements in thinking skills and literacy).

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating resource, 7 Dec 2007
By Mr. Sc Geschwindt "Simon Geschwindt" (Haverfordwest) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Storywise introduces you to the fascinating world of children's philosophising about questions of interest to them. You are given a great deal of guidance to prepare you for the unpredictable outcomes of philosophical enquiry with children, and then you are invited to throw away the crutches of the guidance, and start enjoying and building on the outcomes of the children's discussions. If you are a teacher or a parent, keen to aid your children's intellectual and social development, you will find that you cannot wait to try out the ideas and activities.
