English Book Corner

 

We just received this lovely photo from a primary school in Lent, NL called Basisschool Het Talent. This school applied for  our 2015 Books in a Box campaign and this is what they did with the English  children´s books that we sent them. They created their own Little English Library – wonderful & thank you for your kind message. ¨thank you so much for the books in a box last year, it’s in our own English library now! and the kids enjoy it every day!¨

Our Resources

And our resource page is up – a page filled with fabulous & free book-related resources to help teachers and day-care professionals use children´s books in the Early English Learning Classroom. So, have a browse.
