Why does meaningful engagement matter?​
When every child feels included and excited to learn, they begin to believe in their own potential. As active participants in a story, children gain agency over their learning, driving their curiosity and critical thinking: they ‘learn to learn’.
​
Why should we care about empathy and communication?​
True understanding begins when children step into someone else’s shoes and connect with real human experiences. Immersive storytelling inspires children to share these experiences, discuss their emotions and engage in meaningful dialogue with each other.​
Why encourage academic performance?
Literacy skills combined with a rich spoken and written vocabulary are important not just for tests and SATs scores, but also for building self-esteem as children go into the wider world. Immersive storytelling leads to high retention of knowledge and facts, empowering children to talk and write with self-assurance.​
