This is one of 10 stories

"Les Monstres', is a collection of simple stories to share with the whole class on your Interactive Whiteboard or data projector .

When YOU use these stories...

YOU control the pace of the story - as it's read by a cast of native speakers.

YOU click to advance to the next line or picture,

YOU give children opportunities to discuss, anticipate and join in.

Author Rosemary Bevis believes:
"To learn a FL successfully the child must hear and repeat it continually, revisiting the language in different contexts."

Develop Literacy Skills

with no unfamiliar phrases or tenses..

Watch their confidence grow
as they see how how much they can understand.
