Let the Shadows Speak : Developing Children's Language Through Shadow Puppetry

Shadow puppet theatre has always been used to help bring stories to life, to give characters a voice.

The methods may have changed but that power is as strong as ever, claims the author - which makes shadow puppets an effective medium for language development.

This book is intended for teachers looking for effective ways to help children express themselves - and to learn.

Three plays are provided from pre-school to Key Stage Three for use in classes.
