Teachers might like to play the story straight through at first, maybe using the pause and play buttons to discuss particular words and to ask children to anticipate what is going to happen next.

On subsequent viewings, the numbers at the top of the screen could then be used to navigate to a particular section for language work, practising vocabulary, looking at spellings, plurals, word order etc
