She used ways and means of stories as examples while narrating, including puppet show, Kamishibai (Japanese way of storytelling), usage of creative props and interactive approaches, enlightening teachers’ thoughts and ideas, thereby encouraging their active participation. She suggested teachers to use relevant objects while taking up storytelling sessions and make their classrooms lively.
