Sharing the Wonder of Auslan with Stories

 Hi, my name is Romany, and I am the Reading Lady - your local Auslan Storyteller. I have worked in libraries for over twenty years, specialising in children's programming. I have curated a collection of traditional and contemporary picture books that I showcase with lively storytelling. Auslan is integrated in every lesson, and through repetition, children will practise and learn key word signs. I visit kindys and day-care centres across Brisbane.

These 45-minute storytelling sessions are tailored to Pre-Kindy and Kindy age groups. Each week I explore a new theme with books, rhymes, felt stories and puppets. These themes tie into current events such as NAIDOC Week, Children's Book Week, ANZAC Day, Christmas and much more!

  • Engaging with different texts
  • Exploring sounds and letters

In my storytelling sessions I encourage children to interact with the texts and promote active listening. Children practice Auslan key signs throughout the session.
