More than just reading

We Tell Stories -Digital fiction from Penguin- is not just another interactive tool for students and teachers. It is one of the most attractive I have ever used. You and your students can read fiction and classics and contribute to  the construction of the plot. A funny and interesting way of practicing reading skills.

Celebrate the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens

"My father had left a small collection of books in a little room upstairs, to which I had access (for it adjoined my own) and which nobody else in our house ever troubled. From that blessed little room, Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, Humphrey Clinker, Tom Jones, the Vicar of Wakefield, Don Quixote, Gil Blas, and Robinson Crusoe, came out, a glorious host, to keep me company. They kept alive my fancy, and my hope of something beyond that place and time, - they, and the Arabian Nights, and the Tales of the Genii, - and did me no harm; for whatever harm was in some of them was not there for me; I knew nothing of it. It is astonishing to me now, how I found time, in the midst of my porings and blunderings over heavier themes, to read those books as I did." From David Copperfield By Charles Dickens
