Once Upon a Time. Fairy Tales. 5 Minute Fairy Tales.

All children love fairy tales and parents will love these 5 minute versions as they are ideal for busy families.

They deliver a quality story time and if you give in to ‘just another one’ it will not take too long and will be fun for you both.

The idea is that you enjoy reading together; associating reading with fun, attention, closeness and cuddles is an excellent thing to do.

These stories are designed for your child to join in when the rhymes are in block capitals such as

‘HA HA HA, HEE HEE HEE,
BIG BADWOLF YOU CAN’T CATCH ME.

This is fun and you can laugh as you learn but it also helps with memory and prediction of the story which are both essential reading skills.

I have been telling these stories for over 30 years to pupils and my own children and they are guaranteed to be popular.

I call the tales ‘best loved’ to make sure they are suitable, as some fairy tales can be very frightening and they will not be here.

Fairy tales help children learn and no matter what happens it is essential that everyone lives ’happily ever after’ in this childhood world.

I use simple language to make them accessible to children so soon they will be able to read them alone.
