Storybooks that have worked well in my classes
These are some of the most popular books in my beginners classes (years 1 and 2). All the books are linked to Amazon so you can look at them more closely and read the reviews. Unfortunately, Amazon does not allow me to show their cover pictures any longer, so you’ll need to open the links to see the books.
For some of the books you will also find copyable teaching units designed by me or by students of my course “Teaching Literature and Culture”.
These books will lead to interesting discussions and teach the kids to think outside the box.
