Narración y Dramatización - Storytelling



Where´s Spot?
 

I have chosen this book because the vocabulary and grammar are appropriate for very young children. The sentences are short and simple. Vocabulary is easy and suitable to work with prepositions, animals and elements or objects of the house.

Also, illustrations are really useful for infant education, because there are not many objects on each page and children are not distracted. The drawings are simple and clear.

Moreover an English teacher confirmed to me that it works and kids love it, and they also learn the vocabulary.
