“Stories offer a whole imaginary world, created by language that children enter and enjoy, learning language as they go”. (“Teaching languages to young learners” by Lynne Cameron).
Everyone knows the charming attraction of a story, a folk tale, a fable… Children love stories (and adults too!). In your English lesson plans, never forget to include stories either for young or old learners. Make use of them as much as possible. If you’re planning to use online stories, these two sites are highly recommendable:
Story Place has a wonderful collection of stories for Primary pupils both in English and Spanish. You’ll also find activities, reading lists and parent activity sheets.
Starfall has 15 online interactive stories with sound; in this way, pronunciation and intonation are practised without any effort while children enjoy the story.
