Using Sensory Elements in Story
Season 2026
Episode 11
Providing sensory elements, and opportunity for role-playing, can create deeper engagement with a book. Many books are designed for sensory exploration with textures, flaps or sounds incorporated within the pages. In addition, invite a young reader to act out movements from the book, known as story dramatization. These activities enhance literacy by improving comprehension and vocabulary.
