"Preschool children love stories!
Combine
these ten stories for beginners with games and songs
to have
fun with English"
Welcome
to this webpage which is devoted to the first ten stories in my
preschool series.
Use these to teach children aged 3 to 5 English.
Combine these stories with games, such as my one
to one games book if you are a parent teaching your children,
or a private tutor.
Also
combine these stories with the 16 songs written especially for
them!

Dear
Parent or Preschool Teacher,
This
page is for those of you who only want the stories, without the
preschool games book. I recommend this for parents and
private tutors in combination with my one to one games book, or for
teachers who only want the stories without any games.

The
children are sooo enthusiastic!
Hello!
It was just to let you know that I am
enjoying all the stories and that the children are soooo enthusiastic
especially with the follow-up activities.
It
has been a great help!

This
teacher is saving time and feels less stressed!
Thanks
Shelley. Your resources are already saving me heaps of time and
lessening the anxiety from having such a hectic and mixed teaching
schedule. I'm teaching kindy, elementary and middle school.

Teachers
love them!
Firstly
I should say how fantastic I think the ebook and resources are, I use
them for every lesson and the kids love it, when I arrive for the class
they are clamouring to know what games they will be playing this time...

The language
taught in the first ten stories
Vocabulary
and language is introduced gently and progressively using
a combination of new language and revision of what has gone before.
This makes these stories a perfect ESL teaching resource
because not too much language is introduced at one time, so even three
year old language learners will understand and learn from these
stories, gradually building on their vocabulary.
Each story is fully
and
beautifully illustrated in colour so the children can
listen and understand easily. You can see examples of the
pictures from the different stories below, as well as the language that
will be learned and reviewed from that story.
 The
first
story introduces seven animals
and the greeting, "Hello,
how
are you?" "I'm fine thanks" and "I'm hungry". The animals
are all cute and friendly looking and use the same
language throughout
the story.
The second
story introduces a few more and
includes the animals
from the first story. The children will learn and animals and practise
counting to ten as Anna goes to the zoo, sees the animals
and counts
how many there are.
The
third
story revises counting and introduces
colours as Archie jumps round a course of colourful jumps
on his pony, and things do not always
go as expected!
 The
fourth
story revises
the greeting from story one, and colours and
animals. Some new words
from nature are introduced such as
grass,
flower, pond and path, plus the short
phrases "Is that you?" and "No,
it's me". There are some really fun games to play with those
phrases.
The
fifth
story involves a group of ten cute little ants which are
marching down a path, and which drop off to sleep one by one in
different places. This revises
the word ant, all the numbers and the colours from stories two and
three, the nouns from story four and introduces
some new words plus the short phrases "I'm tired" and
"falls asleep".
 The
sixth
story
stars a very cute cocker spaniel and revises
several the nouns from stories four and five and introduces
action verbs such as run, shout, walk and chase.
In
the seventh
story the cute cocker spaniel chases some ducks and
loses her master. This story revises
vocabulary from previous
stories
and introduces more
action verbs.
Story
eight
involves an ant which has a hard time getting his teddy
bear to go to sleep. Again there is a mixture of
revision and new words and phrases, including some more
action verbs and
"I'm tired" and "I'm not tired".
 In
story
nine
Hetty invites a lion to tea. This story revises
greetings and some vocabulary from previous stories, and introduces
fruits and the question "would you
like some …?"
And story
ten
introduces the days of
the week and Gerard the Giraffe who eats far too
much. You
can
use the numbers 1 to 7 if the days of the week are too hard.
The
story also revises
the vocabulary from story nine.
The stories on their own are really lovely, and
they all have adorable
characters or a cute twist at the end that appeals to preschoolers,
and adults too for that matter!
Let's
hear from a few more teachers so you know you too can be really
successful with these stories:

She
couldn't stop the children from memorising all the lines!
...And
they still remembered it weeks later!
I
have taught the first three stories already and the children loved it.
They loved it so much that they memorised all the lines. I did not ask
them to memorise the lines, it was their idea and you know how hard it
is to make a little kid memorise the lines you want him to.
I
really
like the way you make the sentences for the stories, in form of
patterns. It is the best way for the international students to learn
English.
And, I forgot to tell you, the students not only memorised the patterns
but they remember it well even after a few weeks.

Flashcards in Colour
to Teach Vocabulary
 I
have also created an essential extra. In order to pre-teach key
vocabulary before reading a story, and to revise it in games
afterwards, you will need picture
Flashcards
of the target language, as
it is not always possible to have real or model items to hand.
These
are IN ADDITION to the story illustrations and you can use these
for introducing new words and reviewing them. I have had
these drawn and coloured by an artist and you will be able to download
and print them off.
I've
seen other downloadable story products on internet for three times my
price, and the pictures were not nearly as nice. Today's price: 39 US
Dollars.
Or 29 USD when bought in combination with the
one to one games.
 Bear in
mind that I do offer a 60-day
guarantee so
if you are not completely and totally satisfied you can ask for a
refund.
I
am sure you will love it, but the guarantee is
there so that you can try this teaching resource out at no risk to you.
