Come Alive Stories reviews and comments
“A lovely resource, combining all the important elements that underpin successful language and literacy acquisition. And great fun too!”
Sue Palmer, independent literacy specialist
“The CD is an ideal way to enhance listening skills and particularly good for children who can’t access the written word and for those needing extra support. The children loved them and so did I!”
Barbara Scorer in Nursery Equipment magazine
“An excellent resource covering many areas of the curriculum in an interesting way. Children loved the CD-ROM which they used on the interactive whiteboard independently after a whole group session. All listened well to the story, joined in missing words and enjoyed finding out more about elements from the story. Both sets of cards were used to retell the story and for story sequencing. The wooden characters are good for retelling and were also used for mathematical activities. The musical aspects are also very good and we liked the use of different instruments for characters.”
K. Bradshaw, Crick Primary School, Practical Pre-School tester
“The rhythm and rhyme of the story told in poetic form really captured the children’s imagination. The drama, music and movement activities completed the holistic learning and the children loved it.”
Deborah Harrison in EYE magazine
“They really liked the song – they picked up the story and also spontaneously clapped along in time. They certainly got a lot from the multisensory experience – more so than just a book.”
Helen Hopkin, year 1 teacher
“The cards are very useful for small group sessions questioning the children’s understanding of the story and enriching their language. They were 
also an excellent resource for children who have special educational needs in one-to-one activities.”
Deborah Harrison in EYE magazine
“Children were entranced by the story and loved joining in with the chorus.”
Petra Moden, nursery teacher
“It worked very well with my class. I and they loved the rhyme and the music. They loved joining in with this and moving to the music – very good for 
young children and very engaging.”
Julia Evans, year 1 teacher
