Summary of Content Evaluation
Billy Goats Gruff is an excellent way to include many aspects of the Literacy Curriculum (Foundation Stage and KS1) in a fun and interactive way. Role-play, drama, music and storytelling play an important part of this package, especially as wooden character figures, an audio disc and picture pack are included. The program tells this traditional tale in two ways: prose and in a lively song. It can aid the development of language skills through strong rhythms, rhyme and alliteration, repetition, a familiar structure and a chorus for children’s participation. The vocabulary used is challenging at times, yet the animations will appeal and explain or open up the story to younger pupils.

Summary of Classroom Evaluation
This is a great package that contains everything you need to build a mini topic around the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. There is a CD-ROM that contains the story and a number of different follow up activities supporting Literacy, Music and Science, a further CD which contains the song and the story in a variety of different ways, and a lovely set of wooden characters to encourage small world play around the story. The accompanying booklet contains a wealth of lesson ideas and ways to use the resources and other work that can stem off from this; to support these there are also a set of photocopy masters and some large and small picture cards containing scenes from the story. My class really enjoyed using these resources, they loved the story and sang the song constantly!
