PRIMARY TIMES

Robin’s stories

There is no ideal method for using the worksheets linked to the recorded stories.

You can download the recording of a story or read it to the children. The texts of the stories can be found in LANG Primary issue 25 or you can download them from this web page. The worksheets with the drawings can be found in LANG Primary issue 25.

  • The teacher can ask the children to describe the pictures before or after the first listening.
  • The teacher can ask the children to colour the pictures either before the first or before the second listening or before or after the children work in groups.

    • First listening

  • Tell the children to listen and to understand the sequence of the story. When they have listened to the story, ask them simple questions to check comprehension.

    • Second listening

  • Ask the children to listen to the story again and to number the pictures in the correct sequence. Pause when a picture is mentioned to give the children time to choose and number a picture.
  • Invent simple sentences to describe each picture based on the children's knowledge of English.
  • Play or read the story again, until all the children have numbered the pictures.
  • Ask the children to work in groups and compare the sequence of the pictures.
  • Get the children to cut the pictures and clip or tie with a ribbon in sequence to create a storybook.
  • Occasionally, ask the children to work in pairs and re-tell the story using the storybook.
