Description

Another genius tale of bravery and cunning from Julia Donaldson, The Gruffalo has been enjoyed by children since 1999. Now, with Travelling Tales from Hope Education, you and your class can study The Gruffalo with a bank of quality cross-curricular resources.

Storytelling is the pinnacle of learning to read and write, especially at a young age. The rhyme, rhythm and structure of The Gruffalo is the perfect text to develop pupils' storytelling ability. In this Travelling Tales story sack, puppets of the main characters can be used to tell the story using a multi-sensory approach or used by pupils to re-tell the story themselves. You can also give your voice a rest with the inclusion of an audiobook CD of the story. A selection of exciting cross-curricular resources included is great for encouraging your more reluctant readers to enjoy their learning and begin to make connections between what they read and other activities.

  • Share the wonderful story of The Gruffalo, whilst having all the resources needed for effective storytelling lessons.
  • Re-tell the story in an exciting and tactile way using the puppets included of all the main characters including The Gruffalo.
