Story sacks are a fun way to help your child with reading. Using a story sack also encourages imagination, speech and social interaction. Depending on how the sack is used, it can also teach life lessons, help prepare a child for school and encourage creativity. Above all, story sacks are fun. 

Story sacks help to tell the tale of a book using visual aids, usually via a collection of toys and objects related to the story being told. Children can be fully involved, both with the making of the sack and with using it, which encourages them to look at books and reading in a different way.

This literacy enhancing programme is run through the HSCL department.
