A network for all who teach languages to children

CILT Primary eZIne

Received an e-mail from CILT today with the latest copy of the Primary Languages e-Zine.

This online magazine contains news of QCA units, CILT publications and more, and also takes a topic for consideration.

The focus for this edition is STORYTELLING with ideas of how to get started, how to move on and how it fits into the Primary Curriculum and some ideas for resources as CILT staff choose their favourite books.

There's also a section called 'What you're doing' which contains reports on how various people have used storytelling in the Primary language classroom - including Handa's Surprise, Jules Verne and Go away Big Green Monster - written by someone you might know ;o) - as well as ideas for where to obtain *free* resources for storytelling and what research says about the use of stories.

Well worth a read!
