For
those of you who are new to
Kamishibai (kah-mee-she-bye), this form of storytelling
originated in Japan. Most Kamishibai stories consist of 12 or 16
large (15" x 10.5") sturdy, beautifully illustrated cards.
On the back is the English translation of the text, with the original
Japanese beside it.

Each story, in dramatic
dialogue, form, engages and holds the interest of emergent,
developing, and fluent readers. Because of their generous size,
Kamishibai can be used easily with both small and large groups as well
as with an individual child.
There
are more than 20
selections. Each selection comes with a Teacher's
Guide and with directions on how
to use Kamishibai. The
themes in
Kamishibai stories provide a basis for developing writing skills at
all levels; children can
create
Kamishibai on any topic. |
