KS1 and KS2 English - Aesop's Fables

40 of Aesop’s best-known fables are brought to life in adaptations for children aged 5 to 9 from BBC Teach School Radio.

Each story is five minutes long and read by an all-star cast including Brenda Blethyn, the late Richard Briers, Lindsay Duncan, Richard E Grant, Jane Horrocks, Jonathan Pryce and Alison Steadman.

The downloadable Teacher Notes feature tips for writing fables, assessment focuses and activity suggestions for use across drama, speaking and listening and reading.
