Do and Understand is a collection of 50 short stories, to be used in the classroom with children aged 9 to 13. Do and Understand is an ideal supplement to any main course book or teaching material for this age range. The material has been designed to be flexible. The stories can be taught in any order, although the order they are listed in follows an “easy to more difficult” progression, according to vocabulary, sentence length and story length. The first stories are very simple and can be introduced after just a few hours of class.
