Read Along Stories on DVD
Fun, simple animation provides entertainment, but does not distract young learners from following along with the words on screen. After each story, students are rewarded by reading and singing a cool, rockin’ song that reviews the story and presents more challenging words.
This DVD features four classic stories on DVD: The Three Little Pigs, The Ugly Duckling, Jack and the Beanstalk, and The Little Red Hen. Each story is rewritten to be at an approximate second-grade level and help students learn a valuable lesson about life. Plus, each story includes its own fun song. Students enjoy following the bouncing ball to read and sing along.
One of the best ways to give young learners practice with reading is to offer them classic stories they can read over and over. This type of literature-based approach not only provides practice with a familiar story, but also helps children learn how to use contextual clues as they read for meaning. With this DVD, students can practice reading skills just about anywhere—at home, on the road, on any computer that has a DVD player, and in the classroom. No book is necessary, and students read right along with the words on screen. It is also extremely useful for students that are not native English speakers, such as those in ESL programs. Students practice reading and build their vocabulary.
