Following the opinion that a literate person makes a more 'able child' in comparison to 'less successful learners'. Using stories to create a backbone for social practice, learning rules and life skills from telling stories and looking at their structure.
I think these are relevant to creating a context in which to tell stories, as well as covering the ways in which stories are a base for different types of questioning.
Relates to SEN in the 'community of enquiry' aspect, creating a classroom environment where children can explore a text read to them, or come up with their own oral stories based on previously established community 'boundaries' set up by enquiry and questions.
'by interrogating a text in a community of enquiry children learn that a story usually contains many more questions or problems than they first thought, and that questions (and answers) beget further questions in a dynamic and potentially endless process of enquiry.'
