English level: Earliest beginner level (less than 20 words) with simple phrases, but also an advanced to intermediate expository essay in the end pages.

Teaching StrategiesReenactment because the short phrases lend themselves to physical response. 
Retelling because it is a sequential story, 
Rewriting because it has a straightforward story line. 

English Focus: Pronouns (we, he, she, I, others, some)
Action words (crawl, run, escape, rest, make friends, help, are tired)
