Description
DRAWING THE STORY – FIRST LETTER SHAPES AND THEIR SOUNDS – THE FIRST WORD
LETTER STORIES – 28 pages: Three weeks of detailed lesson plans with mentoring comments begin the long tale of two children’s adventures which leads to the discovery of letters, spread out across the course of the year. These lesson plans are illustrated with blackboard drawings, the children’s bookwork and painting, and a letter of information to the parents.
The free supplement of poems and songs is an editable template which includes sheet music, footnotes and attributions. Customise it for your cultural setting, or use it to teach English as a foreign language.
This chapter shows how to introduce letters through images found in stories, following Rudolf Steiner’s indications. These letter stories present the natural environment and its spiritual dimension in an age-appropriate way, address the realm of feelings rather than the intellect and bring many interesting aspects of the world into the classroom.

This is an incredibly fine, well-crafted and useful material – regardless of whether you are a beginner or a little more experienced. Like all of Fabienne’s books, you get a step-by-step introduction to the teaching, lively and rich in pictures. The same can be said about the frame story for introducing the letters. It is wonderful. It takes both you and the children by the hand as the letters are introduced. It is hard not to fall in love with The Old Garden and the many fine and useful tools presented in this material.

Fresh stories and insights into bringing the letters alive for your students. The way everything is laid out is perfect for the first-time teacher or homeschooler, but teachers who are doing first grade again will also find this resource invaluable. I’m doing a combined one/two class this year, and it assures that my second graders will be just as engaged with this review and new activities. If you are looking for stories and are working with renewal of literacy materials, you’ll appreciate Fabienne’s approach.
