THE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: (4-5 years old)

This story I think it's interesting  to tell it, as it is a typical folktale, it never gets old. Although it is a bit complicated or  the story is a bit hard and sometimes sadly to children but for the is recomforting to know that it ends well.

PRE-TELLING:

œ Before reading Little Red Riding Hood, we are going to introduce the fairytale by eliciting our children’s knowledge of the story. Showing to the children the book cover to arouse their interest and trigger their memories. Who can they see on the cover? (Little Red Riding Hood) What’s she wearing? Where is she? Where’s she going? Is she a good girl? Why/not?

œ 

After we can introduce each character with the flashcards in turn. First of all, we have to ask our children to respond non verbally to the character flashcards through actions and/or noises.

Invent an action and/or noise to correspond to each character, for example, Little Red Riding Hood might skip, the Big Bad Wolf might growl, Mum might be making a cake, Grandma might be walking with a stick, the woodcutter might be cutting wood. 

Can they mime those actions? 

TELLING:

Now is't time to tell the all story. (If you don't know the story here you are)

POST-TELLING:

After the telling:  Retell the story and make deliberate mistakes. Ask your children to clap their
hands together when they hear a mistake. For example, “Once upon a time there was a
little boy…” CLAP! Continue telling the story with the correct word. Alternatively, ask
your children to say ‘Stop!’ and to correct any mistakes they hear. For example,
Teacher: “Once upon a time there was a little boy…”
Children: “Stop! ‘Girl!’'

                                          Hope you like it and remember the appareances are not always the truth.
