        50 Ways to Retell a Story

        Cinderella

        by Alan Peat

        50 Ways To Retell A Story: Cinderella does exactly what it says on the cover - retells the favourite fairytale Cinderella - in fifty brand new ways! As a haiku, a recipe, a text message, a story written in 'pig Latin,' a diary entry, a ghost story and forty-four other innovative ways. The language play involved will interest any avid reader, but the book has, predominantly, been written with the Primary and Secondary school classroom in mind. 50 Ways to Retell a Story - Cinderella provides teachers with 50 literacy lessons, starter sessions or extension activities which ensure a creative, engaging approach to the teaching of literacy. While the familiar format of an old favourite like Cinderella can encourage reluctant writers to 'have a go', more able pupils will relish the challenges of completing the more complex re-tellings. And all of the approaches exemplified in 50 Ways To Retell A Story: Cinderella can be applied with any other traditional tale. Author Alan Peat explains: The inspiration for the book came from Raymond Queneau's work Exercises in Style, which is a collection of ninety-nine different retellings of the same tale. Queneau was one of the founders of OULIPO, a French group of mathematicians and writers who believed that constraints, paradoxically, lead to greater creativity. One of the examples in the book retells Cinderella as a lipogram. A lipogram is a key Oulipean constraint which bans the use of a certain letter or letters in the alphabet. While the story must remain the same, the language chosen to tell that story changes significantly. If we ban, for example, the letter 'a' in the retelling of Cinderella, our heroine must be re-named, can't go to a 'ball', or a 'dance', or even a 'party' but she would be allowed to go to a 'soiree' or 'exclusive reception'. This retelling specifically encourages practical use of a thesaurus, but more importantly, if we encourage children to play with language so that it becomes fun, we can develop a love of literacy which will then impact positively on their writing standards. It also reduces the fear of making a mistake in the classroom, encourages 'risk taking' and experimenting with language. Reluctant writers also find the retelling of a familiar text less threatening than a blank sheet of paper while more able pupils relish the extra tiers of complexity which some of the writing tasks in the book involve.

        Read With Numbers

        A new concept in the reading of English

        by W.A. Thompson and V.L. Power

        Across the world millions of people of all ages are illiterate, and many more are barely literate because of the notoriously irregular spelling of English.  (In languages that are systematic—e.g. Finnish—illiteracy is virtually unknown and remedial instruction is unnecessary.) We believe we have found a new solution to this problem, which will enable almost any English speaker to read quickly, confidently and enjoyably, in a class, with a tutor, or in private without any further help. When you look at the texts you will see that syllables are separated, and letters that combine to represent one sound are closed up. But the groundbreaking feature of the system is that sounds are matched with numbers printed over the text, which refer to pictures in the marginal boxes. The principle is so simple that further explanation is unnecessary, as it is a DIY system. In brief, our system offers the following advantages: * It suits learners of almost any age. *It can be used alongside any other system already in use. *It makes it possible for adults and older children to teach themselves to read—a great attraction to those ashamed of their illiteracy. We believe this feature is unique to our method. *It can, however, be used with groups and classes more successfully than other approaches, because the learners don’t need to ask, “What does that word say?” They can always work it out for themselves, thus reducing stress on teachers, and enabling students to progress at their own speed. *Because it makes all English words readable, not only those that are phonically regular, it makes reading more interesting from the start. *It makes polysyllables as easy to read as words of one syllable. *It involves no change to the shapes of letters, or to conventional orthography. In fact, it strengthens the reader’s awareness of common spelling patterns and the sounds they represent.     Arnold Thompson & Vanda Thompson
