Greetings, my dear readers.

I always say that in teaching children should be interesting. Do you want me to share another method that I actively practice with my daughter? These are audio fairy tales for children in English.
Therefore, today I will share with you the ten best audio recordings, backed up by supporting texts in English (at the end of the article you will find a link to download audio files for fairy tales).

But first I want to give you some tips on how best to build a learning process.

• Choose a fairy tale.
  Yes, it's obvious and unbelievable, but still)). The choice of audio text can be said to be the most important element of effective learning. Look for what your baby has most likely already heard in Russian. In this case, it is simply vital to look for records with . And even better with translation (as I have here).
• Immediately - in Russian.
  Tell this story to the baby in Russian first. He needs to understand what he will listen to, who the main characters are.
• Learn the words.
  For example, if in "Little Red Riding Hood" the most frequent words are "wolf", "grandmother" and parts of the body of that same grandmother - so learn them. Take some time to master this vocabulary.
• We listen.
  Only after you got acquainted with the text in Russian, replenished your vocabulary - only now you can listen.
• Consolidation.
  And you thought everything, listened and forgot! No no no! Do extra tasks, ask questions.

Do it in Russian - your baby is not ready to "climb Everest" yet. When he answers, help him translate his answers. For instance:

Who pretended to be Little Red Riding Hood?
-Wolf.
-And how will the wolf be in English?
-Wolf!

Got the idea?

I recently came across a wonderful service for learning English online. LinguaLeo , my daughter and I registered there and sometimes use it - she really likes it there. I recommend you and your kids too. Moreover, there you can find a huge amount of free materials. More recently, developers have released a paid course - « For the little ones» - for those who are just starting to learn English. Being well acquainted with the excellent approach of the founders of the service to learning English, I am sure that this product is also made at its best (you can watch a video about it). If someone has already purchased such a course, I would be glad to hear feedback about it in the comments ( ed. dated 05.2016 - the course has already been tried - I advise everyone).

You and your child can listen to one record until you get bored. Now the Internet is full of sites where you can listen to audiobooks online, and even for free. But today I have selected for you the top ten highest quality audio fairy tales. They are perfect for both 4-5 year olds and older kids. And of course, dear adults, they will certainly suit you too.

Favorite story of many girls. The vocabulary is still very simple. And there are also songs that can be easily remembered, but in general the whole fairy tale is built in the form. 3 in 1, so to speak!

3. Lily the Flower Fairy .
A very sweet and kind story about a fairy. The words are slightly more complex, with some phrasal verbs, and more colloquial use in general.

This section of our site is dedicated to the most precious thing we have - our little treasures - children.

What do you think the language we speak consists of? At first glance, everything seems very simple: language is the words and their combinations that we hear and pronounce daily, but do not rush to conclusions...

Of course, we all went to school, read a lot of books, listened a lot and talked to smart people. That is, the language contains all the words that we have "collected" during our lives. But we often forget one small detail that it all started from early childhood and the first words of the mother, nursery rhymes, counting rhymes, fairy tales and sayings that we often did not even understand, but listened to and eventually began to repeat! Is it because many of us have such a hard time with a foreign language that we skipped this part of learning it? For example, do you know who ladybird? This is not a lady bird at all, but, oddly enough, ladybug!

The new section of our site is designed to fill this gap in learning English, it is addressed to children - the texts are provided with music and pictures, but everyone who wants to speak English and understand native speakers is strongly recommended to listen and repeat these simple rhymes. The section will be replenished and growing, so come back often and learn children's English together with your kids!
