Dramatized recordings of the core traditional stories, created to catch the imagination and build bridges between a child's home-language and English.

The recordings, which draw heavily on our theatre productions, use an exciting mix of actors, music and sound effects to really bring the stories and the language alive. They're available on audiocassette with the mother-tongue version on Side A and the matching English version on Side B.

Key words from the story are repeated in both languages after each recording.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the carefully crafted storytelling and noticed the care taken to ensure authenticity in the spoken language used.”
