Praise from John Bald in the Guardian

"An exception is Early Start's series of Talking Big Books, available in French and Spanish for primary or younger secondary children. The ... stories in each language are clear, well-illustrated, and presented at a pace children can understand, with a well-organised series of additional activities to practise language skills and clear teachers' notes. French and Spanish versions are both recommended." Read the whole article > http://education.guardian.co.uk/link/story/0,,2236733,00.html

Not just a recorded story -
YOU have control over how the story is told:
  • Step-through the story at a pace to suit your class.
  • Go back if you want, or pause to discuss.
  • HEAR the native-speaker storyteller...
  • ...as you SEE the Spanish text line-by-line.
  • Text can be switched off
  • Words can be highlighted as you hear them.
  • Hear any line repeated...
  • ...or see an English version if you want.
Click 'Play' arrow to see a short demonstration...
Children always hear the words as they read them, encouraging good pronunciation.
Vivid illustrations make the simple text readily understandable.

Build oracy and literacy skills - KS2 Framework for MFL

Children have fun joining in with the story, discovering they can work out what is going on in unfamiliar language.

Games and activities help them begin to read and pronounce new words with confidence.

They can even try writing their own story!
