Noah Chrysler asks Hanah Ehrenreich to explain the Storytelling with Children Festival. Hanah makes a compelling case for why oral storytelling is one of the most powerful tools available to address the literacy crisis facing children today. She argues that before a child ever picks up a book, a story told out loud gives them the "why" — the curiosity and imagination needed to want to read in the first place. The Storytelling with Children Festival aims to bring that ancient tradition back to Central New York, starting May 17th at the MOST in Syracuse!
