The Ocean Dance is a story and question book for English and ESL learners aged 3-8 with illustrations. It tells the story of Lily, a little girl who loves the ocean and wants to dance with it. She goes to the beach with her parents and flies her kite, feeling a connection with the ocean. She sees, hears, feels, smells, and tastes the wonders of the beach. She also learns a new dance: the ocean dance.
The book has 18 pages of colourful and charming illustrations that accompany the story. Each page has a question based on the text that helps the child practise their reading and listening skills. The questions are suitable for beginners and can be answered in one word or a short phrase.
The book also has a special feature: Lily looks subtly different in each illustration to help little girls imagine themselves in the story. She has different hair colours, skin tones, eye shapes, and outfits that reflect the diversity of the world. This way, every child can relate to Lily and feel inspired by her adventure.
The book can be printed out or read on a computer or tablet. If reading on a screen, children can write the answers to the questions on paper, or they can just say the answers out loud.
The Ocean Dance is a perfect gift for any child who loves the ocean, wants to learn English, or enjoys reading stories. It is also a great resource for homeschooling, online classes, or tutoring sessions. Order your copy today and let your child experience the magic of The Ocean Dance!
