Sensory stories are designed as an immersive way of experiencing stories, using all five senses. The most effective sensory storytelling uses everyday objects to create a sequence of sensory impressions which follow the sequence of the story. For pre-formal learners, this sequence of sensory experiences will be the main way in which they understand the story; for semi-formal learners, the sensory experiences can help reinforce the language and concepts in the story, and increase engagement and attention. You can design your own sensory story for almost any book by thinking about how to represent each event in the story with an exciting object to look at, touch, smell, listen to or taste.
