I believe storytelling is a very powerful teaching resource for young learners. They feel comfortable with it, and when they read or listen to a story they stop caring about “understanding every single word" of it.

I have used Storytelling with 15-year olds! They also loved it. If you get your students to write their stories directed towards young children, it helps them to use simple vocabulary and structures which is great writing practice for them. Afterwards they can share them on a wiki/blog/moodle site. Very rich! I'm attaching two examples of my students' stories. http://storybird.com/books/the-spiky-cactus-wants-friends/?token=hugkz23zd6 http://storybird.com/books/rabbits-christmas-7/

Welcome
"Lit2Go is a free online collection of stories and poems in Mp3 (audiobook) format. An abstract, citation, playing time, and word count are given for each of the passages. Many of the passages also have a related reading strategy identified. Each reading passage can also be downloaded as a PDF and printed for use as a read-along or as supplemental reading material for your classroom." Shona Whyte: Mostly American out-of-copyright classics aimed at native-speakers, but well put together for teachers (transcript, reading level, word count) so usable for intermediate-plus teen or adult learners.

Over many years of doing reading with learners of all age groups, I must confess that the actual act of reading something--while itself often very enjoyable--pales in comparison to what happens when we use that reading, or follow up from...
