What is this?
- Storybird is a collaborative storytelling website.
- You can make short and art-inspired stories.
- You can share, read, and print your own stories.
Why is the content good for language learning?
- Reading fun storybooks is the best way to learn English for EFL young learners.
- It is easy to read with wonderful pictures.
- After reading, learners can read the story again or create a new storybird.
- It is good to improve learner autonomy when they make their own storybook and publish it.
How might you use it to foster language learning?
- Read published storybirds with students and let them talk about their opinion about them.
- To make their own storybird, let students choose their favorite topic and ask what kind of story they want to make.
- Get them to choose pictures they like and drag them into the story board.
- Give them opportunities to say about the picture first and to type the words.
- Publish the storybird if they like it.
- Give students the website address and let them send the storybird to the student's friends or parents to share it at home.
- Might be a bit difficult to make a storybird as a whole class because the students' preference can be different.
- Some spelling mistakes can be found published ones.
- Some pictures are too scary for young learners.
