This lesson plan focuses on enhancing toddlers' narrative skills through interactive storytelling activities. In a 30-minute session, children will engage with picture books, building their understanding of story structure by identifying elements such as the beginning, middle, and end. The session begins with a read-aloud, where the teacher uses expressive voices to maintain engagement and encourages discussion about the story. Following the reading, toddlers will retell the story using visual story cards and puppets, fostering their verbal expression and comprehension. To promote creativity, children will draw their favorite part of the story or invent their own narratives, sharing them with the group. The lesson concludes with a celebration of each child's unique contributions, reinforcing the value of storytelling and imagination. Assessment will be based on participation, engagement, and verbal expression throughout the activities. A follow-up activity encourages family involvement in storytelling at home.
