More and more teachers are recognising the value of using real storybooks as a motivating, challenging and fun resource for English language teaching. This is an expanded and updated edition of The Storytelling Handbook and is an invaluable guide to using real storybooks in the primary classroom.

The book is divided into two sections: a comprehensive methodology section which explores the theory of using authentic storybooks and explains the benefits; and Teacher’s notes on 12 stories from around the world - carefully chosen to maximise effective language learning and enjoyment.

• Ideal for teachers, teacher trainers and trainees
• Stories and notes aimed at a variety of levels and ages from 8 to 11 year olds
• Story notes can be used as a supplement or as an alternative to the coursebook
• Suggestions on how stories can be used across the curriculum to include areas such as cultural awareness and citizenship, music and drama, art and craft, maths and science
• Photocopiable activity sheets for each story
