Kabuliwala is popular for his unique styles of storytelling for kids and adults. Kabuliwala storytelling is a great tool for enhancement of the language skills, transfer of vocabulary and enhancement of memory through visual, auditory and kinesthetic approach. Students not only listen, but also interact and play along with the storyteller and take the story forward along with the Kabuliwala.
