Stories are a natural way for children to discover language. They give English a context, a purpose and a meaning — helping children listen, understand, speak and interact while becoming immersed in a world they can see, imagine and make their own.

At Chatterbox, we use storytelling to turn picture books and stories into engaging English learning experiences. Our resources combine storytelling with language development, communication, creativity and thinking skills, with activities designed to help children move from understanding language to using it.

​

Here you’ll find practical, ready-to-use English storytelling lesson plans, classroom activities and Story Box ideas for primary learners, together with resources for CLIL, seasonal learning and other classroom contexts.
