Solía pasar un montón de tiempo buscando material apropiado para usar en mis clases de preescolar y primaria. Hay mucho por ahí, pero descubrí que a menudo no se adaptaba a mis propósitos, o tendría que pasar mucho tiempo adaptando lo que había encontrado. Realmente quería tener recursos que supiera que involucrarían a mis jóvenes estudiantes Y harían un mejor trabajo al activar y consolidar lo que estaban aprendiendo. Eso es lo que me llevó a crear mis propios materiales y ahora también están disponibles para ti.
Estas son las principales características que comparten todos los recursos:
Interactivo: Proporcionan muchas oportunidades de interacción donde los niños participan activamente en su aprendizaje.
Flexible: la mayoría de los recursos incluyen varias variaciones, por lo que puedes elegir las plantillas más adecuadas para tus alumnos. Esto los hace ideales para niveles mixtos o grupos de edades mixtas.
Juguetón: No son recursos para cabezas abajo. Los niños no están sentados y completando fichas. He diseñado las materiales para que faciliten juegos, drama, cuentacuentos y bueno, ¡diversión!
Apoyo: no todo se trata de lo que es, sino de cómo lo usas.He incluido muchas ideas y consejos para hacer antes, durante y después de la actividad. Esto te ayuda a maximizar la práctica del idioma y hace que la planificación de la clase sea agradable y fácil.
Extensible: no solo tus alumnos disfrutarán del aprendizaje dentro del aula, sino que también pueden llevarlo más allá. Todos los recursos facilitan la interacción con sus familias. Se van a casa con algo que mostrar, jugar o incluso enseñar. ¡No creo que esto tienda a suceder con las páginas de un libro de trabajo!
¿Cuáles son los recursos?
♦ Recursos de cuentos, basados en libros populares
♦ Recursos temáticos: basados en temas comunes en cursos primarios y exámenes para niños
♦ Recursos de gestión del aula: una colección cada vez mayor de herramientas útiles para ayudarte a organizar y gestionar tus clases
A continuación encontrará un resumen del tipo de recursos que encontrarás en cada categoría.
Recursos de cuentos
Uno de los desafíos de trabajar con cuentos es encontrar formas de dar a los niños práctica del idioma y crear una lección estructurada. Otra es encontrar formas de contar y volver a contar la historia en un lenguaje que sea fácil de adquirir. ¡Ahí es donde puedo ayudar!
Encontrarás:
♦ Flashcards y tarjetas de juego: identifique y apunte a frases útiles y vocabulario temático.
♦ Manualidades para facilitar la narración de cuentos – story sliders, story wheels, mini-books, roleplay puppets, small world play, sequencing fans, cut and paste story scenes and many more.
♦ Juegos y manualidades para activar el lenguaje y el vocabulario del cuento – dice, graphing sheets, flap books, board games, bingo, dominoes, fortune tellers…..
♦ Cuentos adaptados de PowerPoint – cuentos recontados en lenguaje adaptado, específicamente para incorporar más repetición de frases y estructuras útiles.
♦ Juegos de PowerPoint – juegos de imágenes ocultas y faltantes simples pero efectivos para el lenguaje clave.
♦ Cuentos y juegos digitales: cuentos simplificados con audio y ‘Listen and choose’ juegos.
♦Guiones de narración simplificados: se utiliza para practicar la narración de cuentos o en actividades teatrales.

Topic Resources
One of the reasons a lot of families choose my courses is because they want something different. They worry that their children will get bored of following another course book, and lose interest in English. Disengaged kids are no fun for us teachers either! Our topic resources help you cover the typical content you would find in a course book or exam preparation course….but in a more fun and interesting way.
The topic resources include many of the same resource types as for stories. For example, interactive crafts, games, flashcards, game cards etc.
You’ll also find more interesting graphic organisers, surveys, spinner games, folding crafts and more.

I plan to add more tools here in the future. Let me know what would be useful!
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.
Yes, of course! Maybe you have the time and enjoy creating things, but it has to be said that being a young learner teacher can involve a HUGE amount of extra work making materials. Give yourself a break!
All my materials have been tried and tested in the classroom. As well as having almost 20 years of teaching experience, I am also a qualified trainer for the Trinity TYLEC (Teaching Young Learners Extension Certificate), so you can rely on the quality.
Yes! They work great for mixed aged groups and different abilities because they come with different templates AND different suggestions with how to use the resource. No time wasted on adapting different worksheets!
The provided activity suggestions for pre, during and after the craft give you all the steps you need to create a fun and engaging lesson for your young learners.
If your young learners are in love with the book, fantastic! In my experience though, even if you don’t abandon the book completely, it’s worth your while bringing in something new and exciting into the class once in a while. It helps keep your group engaged. Engaged and motivated children make for a happy lesson (and teacher!)
