One challenge is the language barrier. ells may not have a sufficient command of the language to express their complex stories clearly. Another is cultural differences. Their stories may be based on cultural norms and values that are not easily understood by others. Also, lack of confidence can be a problem. ells might be shy or afraid of being judged, which can prevent them from sharing their story.
To help ells tell their story, we can start by understanding their culture. This understanding can help us ask the right questions and show that we respect their background. Then, we can use different mediums such as writing workshops or digital storytelling platforms. These platforms can be less intimidating than speaking in public. We can also encourage family members or friends of ells to be involved, as they can provide support and additional details to the story.

It enhances their creativity. When kids tell a story, they have to come up with characters, settings, and plotlines all on their own, which is a great exercise for their creative minds.
