What do teachers say about the resources?

Wow! I used this resource for one of my labs and it has been explosive. Children were super excited and of course, I was as well! Nothing to complain about! Great work!

I have recently started to use storytelling in my classes and ESL labs. Fiona’s resources are a real treasure. Lots of useful tips and ready-to-use material to bring the story to life and help kids use the language. Excellent, couldn’t ask for more.

The resources were great and saved me so much time, the teaching tips gave me ideas. We had a lot of fun with it : the kids loved the activities, learnt the animals and movements and understood the story. And I feel like there is so much more I could have done. Thank you !

I found this resources few weeks ago and now I’m always have a look first on this web. The range of activities are awesome!

I love the resources and the kids seemed to enjoy too. I had a hard time today with a mixed-age group (from 6 to 14!), but the abundance of differentiated activities Fiona offers made it much easier for me to make the time spent together meaningful.

Most importantly, my students really enjoyed the process of making their own mini book. It also served as an assessment, as I was able to see clearly which students were having issues with reading and matching – but it didn’t feel like an exam or test for the students at all. I only wish I’d found this at the beginning of the academic year.

Reviews

  • Pete the Cat's White Shoes - great with little ones

    By Jane Marshall on

    The finger puppets, story slider, game cards and board game – I really can’t praise them enough. Supported by the online book and song, these materials have entertained and involved my 3 and 5 year olds without any chance of boredom over three sessions so far, and they are using the language of the story naturally with the support of the great illustrations. We’ve enjoyed making the crafts, and the different levels of the materials mean I will use the variants with older kids, too. I really enjoy the creativity of the materials and appreciate how much work has gone into them.
