This book was never properly finished as I can’t go back to the pictures now to add more. However, it has quite a few ‘tener’ expressions even without being complete!

Not quite sure what to do today? Nor is our hero. Read on to find out what he decides to do.

Continuing with my “Storybird collection”, here’s Los animales, a book that describes some unusual animals.

I’m having a bit of a Storybird ‘splurge’ at the moment. It’s my chosen form of relaxation this week!

So here are two I’ve just written with the QCA Unit Yo soy músico in mind (see here for a previous post on this unit and here for a fun activity we did using Twitter!). Two becasue one is very simple with phrases using tocar plus an instrument e.g. Toco la flauta, whilst the second adds a frequency phrase to the sentence e.g. Toco el piano cada miércoles; Toco la guitarra a menudo etc. I guess i could write a third version adding even more detail…

This story has beautiful illustrations to help talk about the weather in Spanish.

¿Qué tiempo hace? on Storybird

A new Storybird that has not been seen previously, especially for Halloween – and specifically written for RGo at WCPS ;o)

Count with Calabaza (Pumpkin) from 0 to 9, and then find the Halloween objects in the story.

Hope you enjoy it!

UPDATED October 2020

Storybird have changed the ability to share so here it is narrated as a PPT.

Another Storybird, this time with more text.

“Mis amigos raros is a Spanish story about Eduardo’s friends who are all a little out of the ordinary.”

I’ve decided to (re)publish my Storybirds over the next few days. Here’s the first, a very very simple ‘story’ about colours in Spanish.

Just found this lovely story app via my Google Reader. Called Calliope, Queen of the Zebras, it’s a very simple story that you can read or have read to you. And it is written in English, Spanish and French – you change language by clicking on the cowboy hat, beret and sombrero so you can read each page in a different language if you want. The book also has hidden animations and sounds, and a fun page on which you can dress Calliope. And it’s a lovely story too –

“I can sing or swing,

I can be or do anything.”

There are another two story apps from StoryBook Express – Dott Meets Watt and If I only had wings, both of which are in English Spanish and Vietnamese, and come with a parent’s guide of questions to get your child talking.

I’ll be looking out for more in the series too…
