If you would like to see a list of books that supports the development of the skills needed to read images then please scroll down to the bottom of this page.

This website has films children have made, trailers for up and coming films and allows you to search for particular films. To visit it please click here

To see a short french film that shows you how to make a t-shirt folding machine click here. This would be fantastic to show children before they make a film that gives instructions.

If you are interested in purchasing the Starting Stories DVD for KS1 or Story Shorts for KS2 please click here.

These resources consist of short films, mostly but not all, animated for use as texts for teaching sequences in literacy. If you go to the Renewed Framework folder you will find out Texts That Teach and can see where we have linked some of these films to units.

These texts are also fantastic guided reading texts. My favourite at the moment for readers in Yr5/6 is Between Us from Story Shorts 2.

If you are using the bfi resources, Starting Stories for FS/KS1 and Story Shorts for KS2, you will find the website for Flat Life useful to support your use of the film. Click here to see it.

To see an animated film, The Monk and The Fish by Michael Dudok de Wit, from Story Shorts 2 that you can use at KS2 please click here. To see an example of a lesson using The Monk and The Fish click here.
