Some testimonies about Michael’s storytelling:
"Entertainment and modeling, along with contagious enthusiasm and a delightful sense of humor, are the hallmarks of Michael Forestieri’s storytelling instruction. Michael inspires students to take a story, enter it, and to become the story’s characters. My graduate students discover a talent that they never knew they had… The class with Michael is, indeed, the highlight of my class."

"They love your stories! It takes them back to younger times in their lives and in the lives of their children. They really get something from it. They look forward to your coming each month."
– Rosemary Stevens, Former Program Director, Adult Day Care, Newark, DE
"Hi, Mr. Forestieri: Thank you for helping my third grade students "explode the memory" and use all their senses to create their stories. The pre-writing activity of "telling" someone the story first with additional descriptions as needed, improved the imagery for their readers. Now, my students can better communicate that special memory for an audience."
