What reading level is How to Tell Stories to Children, And Some Stories to Tell book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Knowing your story, having your hearers well arranged, andbeing as thoroughly as you are able in the right mood, you begin to tellit. Tell it, then, simply, directly, dramatically, with zest.
_Simply_ applies both to manner and matter. As to manner, I mean withoutaffectation, without any form of pretence, in short, without posing. It isa pity to "talk down" to the children, to assume a honeyed voice, to thinkof the edifying or educational value of the work one is doing. Naturalness, being onese...lf, is the desideratum. I wonder why we so oftenuse a preposterous voice, --a super-sweetened whine, in talking tochildren? Is it that the effort to realise an ideal of gentleness andaffectionateness overreaches itself in this form of the grotesque? Somegood intention must be the root of it. But the thing is none the lesspernicious. A "cant" voice is as abominable as a cant phraseology. Bothare of the very substance of evil.
"But it is easier to _say, _ 'Be natural' than to _be_ it, " said oneteacher to me desperately.
