Preschool visits
There is a special delight in sharing stories for the very young! The energy, enthusiasm and wide-eyed wonder of preschoolers are a constant source of inspiration for Bill.
Bill's programs are a highly participatory blend of stories, songs, poems and finger-plays. Adults have likened him to Mr. Rogers because of his ability to make children feel seen and respected, and many children (independently and at different locations) have dubbed him, "The Sillyteller!" because . . . well . . . he's just plain silly!
Quality oral language helps build early literacy skills, and Bill's love of the spoken word shines through everything he does. He often says, "Words are my favorite toys!"
Scroll down the page to see all of the features (including the "3 R's" of working with young children) that make a visit from Bill Wood an exciting and enchanting event!
