Description: The gingerbread man loves to run and play. Can anyone catch him? Children can listen as they read along with this ebook featuring audio. The story is adapted for English learners and illustrated with real photos that will capture children's imaginations. Your students will develop fluency and vocabulary as they listen and read. You can make the story available in learning centers, project it on the whiteboard for whole-class instruction or assign it for children to practice reading at home. I wrote this story for my students, who are learning English as a foreign language in elementary school. They love magic and make-believe, so they enjoy reading fairy tales and picturing themselves as the heroes and heroines. I wanted an ebook version of The Gingerbread Man at their level that I could send them to practice reading in English at home. I found ebooks to buy for myself, but none that I could send to families. So I wrote one!
