Who are they for?

The Module is designed to support teachers who wish to use storytelling with young learners in the early stages of language learning and who may not themselves be trained linguists. The story itself, the visuals and the wealth of supporting materials mean that the resource can be used with a wide range of learners. With over 20 items to chose from, which you use and how you use them will depend on the needs and abilities of the pupils you teach. The main focus is probably KS 2 (P7 - S2 in Scotland), but the visual materials could be used with younger age groups. and some of the language practice activities could used as revision with older groups. or to extend gifted and talented pupils.

Another FANTASTIC resource ­ thank you!

I have only just had the chance to look at my Mini Module 'Can I have a pet?' and I think it's fantastic. I have no suggestions for improvement as you seem to have thought of everything! The whole module is based on a good idea/ story-line which will appeal to youngsters straight away and this is followed up by well-prepared and thought out activities/ resources. I am a Secondary school teacher who also does some Primary language work and so this will be extremely useful to me as I have little spare time to prepare such things. Thank you v much - a brilliant resource!
