Purpose: Through the art of oral storytelling, Spellbinders enhances literacy, encourages character development, and builds intergenerational community.
Vision: We believe that Oral Storytelling:
- Is a natural avenue to help children develop literacy skills by engendering a love of stories, both oral and written, enabling them to dream and hope.
- Builds connections between generations, eye to eye and heart to heart.
- Shares the wisdom, values, humor and sense of community embodied in stories coming from many cultures throughout time.
- Fosters awareness of the importance of virtues such as mutual respect, integrity, perseverance, empathy and cooperation.
