Stories to Tell Children / Fifty-Four Stories With Some Suggestions For Telling

A collection of fifty-four brief tales—folk stories, fables, fairy pieces, and rhymes—paired with practical, teacher-oriented guidance for oral presentation and classroom use. The opening sections offer concrete advice on pacing, expression, cover-ups for memory slips, and methods of dramatisation and retelling; they include graded lists of stories suited to different levels and suggestions for teaching language through storytelling. The body of the book supplies short, simply told narratives for young listeners, with an emphasis on plain language, lively delivery, and techniques to engage children and make stories easy to dramatise and remember.
