Kids Box with STORYFUN This content map is intended to provide clear links between each unit of Kid’s Box Updated Second Edition and the corresponding levels of Storyfun Second Edition. This enables teachers and students to simultaneously use both courses across different classes. For example, connecting regular English classes with extracurricular English classes. Each Kid’s Box unit links to a common topic, vocabulary or grammar theme in stories within each level of Storyfun. The syllabi are not intended to be identical, though both Storyfun and Kid’s Box closely follow the vocabulary and grammar of the Cambridge English: Starters, Movers and Flyers tests. Storyfun and Kid’s Box are both validated by Cambridge English Language Assessment. This means they check all materials and exam references for accuracy and level. That’s why we stamp our books as ‘Official Preparation Material’, and that’s what makes them suitable for either English classes or exam preparation classes. Kid’s Box is the only fun and action-packed primary English course with official preparation for Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLEs) tests. Storyfun is a fun, story based English course, combining stories with English and Cambridge English: Young Learners preparation.

WHY STORIES? Storyfun aims to provide an opportunity for language practice by engaging learners’ interest in stories.
Storyfun has been written for teachers and young learners of English in a wide variety of situations. It is suitable for:
Research has shown that meaningful and imaginative stories can motivate learning because learners: • engage with the text and their imaginations. • learn vocabulary with repetition of key words in the text and pictures. • are exposed to repeated rhyme and sound patterns and accurate pronunciation. • develop deeper social understanding by relating to characters and events in the story. • actively engage listening skills as they predict, hypothesise and await outcomes.
• • • • • •

The stories in Storyfun may be used in any order to fit in with the topics you are covering at a particular time. This document shows how you may use them alongside the topics in Kid’s Box.
