Remember When? Using Family Stories to Promote Literacy and Cultural Awareness

Through this set of PowerPoint slides, Dr. Rita Buchoff shares a variety of ideas about family stories. She starts with examples of children’s books that feature the family stories of others, then illustrates different ways in which to capture stories. For younger children, stories may be captured on tape or video; for older children they may be written and illustrated. A delightful option for inviting family members to share their stories (the Family Box) is also included.
