ABSTRACT
The author works with a group of teachers who had been developing their approach to Storytelling and Story Acting. They contained many characters and went on for such a long time that Story Acting was becoming a nightmare. Speaking our dictation means the child and the scribe are able to set a pace for recording the story that works for them both. The author's heard Vivian Gussin Paley speaking on a video, made at a conference in Boston, where she said, 'There is no later'. The job of the teacher is to make it now'. She explained how to make this possible. The author's first and most successful approach to this and is to say Jessica has a story, but she can't quite remember it, now if author played with Jessica she would make some suggestions as to what character she likes to play, but one's children play with her, and that's how one learn what's on our friend's minds.
