TALES TO ENJOY READING!

In college we were talking about the importance of reading during the primary stage. Because the stories develop imagination, reduce misspellings and create confidence and creativity. That's why I decided to bring here some examples about how I would teach the tales in my class.

***

"Goldilocks and the Three Bears"

We can We can use parts of the story to relate to some everyday things and thus encourage students to talk and express themselves.

For example:

Bears in the story have a hot breakfast cereal bowls called 'oats'. Tell us about your breakfast. 

-> What do you usually eat for breakfast?

-> Do you eat anything special for breakfast on weekends? 

-> What is your favorite breakfast?

"The Valiant Little Tailor"

With the story of the brave little tailor we can teach different types of clothing as the seasons. Being useful gloves, scarves, wellies and umbrellas in winter; sunglasses, bathing suits and flip-flops in summer; fall jackets in autumn and dresses in spring.

"The Little Mermaid"

To tell the story of the Little Mermaid we can choose one of the songs featured in the film and work it with our students. We can choose the characters, good costumes and act out the song the best as we can, putting emphasis on rhythm and intonation.

"Pinocchio"

Apart from the values ​that the tale of Pinocchio teaches us (like don't say lies), I find interesting the idea of ​​teaching children the different materials from which objects are made. And as Pinocchio is made of wood, to allow them to be able to recognize other materials, know their names in English, from which texture they are, etc.

I hope you enjoyed this educational proposals!
