Resource Books for Teachers - 9780194425810

Storytelling with Children. Resource Books for Teachers give guidance on the key aspects of language teaching, and provide examples and discussion of actual classroom materials and techniques. This primary sub-series, in a larger format, specifically addresses the needs of primary teachers, teacher trainers, and trainee teachers. Each book contains guidance for the teacher, 60 to 100 activities for primary children, and up to 20 photocopiable worksheets.

The highly successful Storytelling with Children contains a wide variety of original ideas for using stories to teach English to children. Children love stories: fairy stories, science fiction, stories based on television characters. Stories motivate children to listen and learn, and help them to become aware of the sound and feel of English, and understand language points, while enjoying the story. The book includes a selection of ready-to-tell stories, although the activities can be used with any story.

This new edition includes many new stories and lesson plans, and also offers a new section of guidelines giving practical help for the teacher. These include using stories combined with drama, poems and music, cross-curricular studies, and personal development. Illustrations are by the author, and include photocopiable worksheets and `easy-to-draw' pictures.
