Little Red Hen

Today I want to present you this book recomended for each students who are learning to read in English properly. The Little Red Hen is a traditional tale which the students could learn more about the own responsability and the fact of sharing with who helped us.

It's interesting to give more importance to the reading part of an exam, because the pupils' pronunciation is not well nowadays in the most of Spanish schools. This tale is recommended for fifth or sixth grade because the're more conscious about grammar and spelling. Furthermore the story has some activities at the end, these questions will be useful if the teachers wants to evaluate their children.

If we (as a teacher) would to adapt this tale or questions to low grades we could make vocabulary lists and group the words into categories (animals and food in this case) or create little dialogues above the story between the pupils, payin attention on the spelling of course.

To tell a story and read it in class is an useful resource for English teacher, our children will learn better if we'll able to combine the knowledge with funny games (if it's possible). The children and teenagers' literature it's a powerful tool which the teachers can approach their pupils to the awareness.
