The text is highlighted in a similar fashion to a Karaoke subtitle, excellent for linking text to sound. Very soon you will be able to get pupils to hear the narration and then record their own soundtrack too. A real gem of a find. An example of a video from… Continue

I'm intending to begin a series of blog posts later this week on the subject of storytelling in primary MFL.
