The aim of the Once Upon A Book Storytelling Competition is to promote reading, as reading extensively provides students with powerful learning opportunities and contributes to whole-person development.
The objectives of the competition are to provide students with the opportunities to:
- explore diverse narratives, characters, ideas, and emotions through reading; - express themselves freely, confidently, and creatively in English by sharing their passion for reading a book of their choice using a range of storytelling techniques; - develop their communication skills and creativity through a thoughtful video presentation of a book; and - cultivate values and attitudes through their engagement with books and storytelling.
