On the Shelf ....

Tapsy Tales LogoThe Tapsy Tales Series has been created by an experienced teacher of French as a Second Language who knows how difficult it can be to find stories written at a level that is simple enough for beginning students.

Fairy Tales

Each collection has 5 well-known fairy tales in the three versions with glossary.


- familiar stories
- simple narrative in the present tense
- 3 versions of each story

........ numbered text lines for quick reference

........ play script based on narrative text which expands and encourages the use of verbs in the conversational first and second persons as well as the narrative third person

........ sketchbook designed with frames on each page for students to illustrate the story
*text on each page also matches the numbered line version for easy reference.

- French-English glossary specific to each story
- the choice of making as few or as many copies as needed
   (For example: run four copies of the glossary for group work,
     but individual copies of the story)

 

Not sure of the level of difficulty?

......... View some sample pages.
                         
...... Examine first scenes of play scripts
