What it is

Story Time is a free reading tool for English language teachers, built around one short story per grammar concept. Choose a CEFR level and a grammar point and, where a story exists for it, it opens ready to read with the class, so reading practice and the grammar point of the lesson are the same activity.

Choose a CEFR level and grammar concept. When available, its story opens beside the list. Read it together or let students read silently, then enable highlight grammar to show target examples. Pause on highlighted sentences to discuss form and meaning. Choose another concept for a different grammar focus.
