About this BritLit Kit

This is the first in a short series of kits for primary school learners of English. It was produced to respond to the initiative of governments, including the Portuguese government, to lower the age at which English is taught in state schools. Written by Carolyne Ardron and Sue Clarke, illustrations by Paul Millard.

Hello,

There isn't any audio for these chants, as the idea is you can use whichever rhythm you want and which fits the words to make it memorable for your students. You might be interested in this video which gives some examples of using chants and rhymes with young learners for some inspiration https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/stress-timing

Hope that helps,

Hello everyone! The story is great, thank you for sharing! I would like to use it with my 1st graders. Unfortunately, I can't find any audio files for chants. Can you send them to me or upload it here? Thank you for your help.

The chants are published here in Word documents, so that you have the words. The idea is for you to do the chant with any rhythm that fits the words and that is memorable, so there are no audio files for these.
