Young children learn by their five senses through listening and doing. According to Pelt (2018), storytelling plays a vital role to relate the participants’ experiences and to build their literacy skills. National Geographic (2020) mentions the purpose of storytelling is to entertain, educate, and inform due to its universal message of values, behaviours, and cultural heritage.
The story makes the children’s learning better by exposing them more into this story elements, where the role of the story will be played at home or even at the theatre. Such storytelling can enable them to retain the learning. The concept is more straightforward to grasp than by words. Such storytelling improves their learning experience. That leads the current practical storytelling is practised in the theatres, cinemas, school drama, and even home-based videos. They re-enact the story and improve their cognitive learning. The impressed quality of the story is the marketing to the young emergents.
