IQM’s sister company, Windmill Education, the sole UK distributor of The Story Spinner, is delighted to announce that The Story Spinner has won an award at the recent Practical Pre-school awards. Congratulations to Maria and her team.

‘The Story Spinner’ and ‘Stories from Around the World’ are DVDs for primary aged children (early years to Year 6) proven to help develop their literacy skills.

The DVDs allow you to have repeated viewings of the exact same telling of a particular live story, year after year, offering you excellent value for money. You can then use the story as a powerful and versatile teaching tool, regardless of any changes in the curriculum: children can do their own re-telling; analyse the story structure; discuss the characters; hot seat; make story boards; artwork; drama… and of course, simply enjoy the shared experience of a good story!

“The power of story to engage, amaze and delight is presented here in a compelling collection, brilliantly told. If you buy nothing else this year, buy The Story Spinner and enjoy the journey.” Eve Bearne, University of Cambridge Faculty of Education
