Little Bird Tales
- Decription of the Project
- For this project, We have been discussing, in my first
grade intervention class, about writing. In our
writing, we have been working on our stories having
a beginning, middle, and end. When looking for a
digital tool to use with my students, I came across
little bird tales. What drew me to Little Bird Tales
were that the students could record themselves
telling the story. When we do our writing, my
student are extremely hung up on spelling words
correctly. With this app, they do not have to worry
about their spelling. I feel since they do not have to
worry about their spelling so much they are much
more able to express themselves in their story.

- How and why I used Little Bird Tales
- The main reason why I used Little Bird Tales
was that my students were able to record
themselves telling their story. When my
students and I work on writing, spelling is a
major hold back. Even when I tell them to
not worry about spelling just focus on
expressing yourself and your story, I can tell
that when they can't spell a word correctly
they are holding back what they really want
to say. Now I believe being able to spell
correctly is extremely important, but being
in this class and program, I understand that
for ELs spelling is not the most important
thing to focus on while writing.
- I started out with letting the students
just explore the app and see what it
could do. Now I should not have done
this and I will tell you why. I found that it
worked much better when we did a story
step by step all together. I was hung up
on giving my students choice and I did
later! But when you first start, do lessons
together. Choice will come later when
they learn how to actually use the app.

- How students used and reacted to Little Bird Tales
- My students LOVED working with the Ipads and using Little
Bird Tales. If I had one piece of advice for anyone using this
app with first graders, it is please allow up to a week of
everyday use for them to learn how the app works. I have
my first graders for 30 minutes every morning and it took
us 30 minutes just to do a title page. Now keep in mind
that once they learn it is smooth sailing. Now I know that
my academic vocabulary in this presentation may not be
adequate, but whoever is reading this in interest of using
this app I want to be able help you the best I can. I could
tell which of my students had used an Ipad and which had
not. My EL student was very excited about using the Ipad.
When I explained to the students about how the would be
able to tell their story rather than type or write it down
they were much more relaxed. They did not have to worry
of spelling correctly holding them back.

- What I learned....From this project I learned that I am not the
best at using academic vocuabulary, Nor am I made to be a
classroom teacher. I am a P.E. teacher. But from this project I
am learning to help my students. And no matter what grade
I recieve I believe I earned an A. Having my students not to
be judged by how they spell and right but solely by their
imagination is somehting I wish I had the opportunity to do.
The look on my students face as their story was watched by
their principal and teacher is how I know that I, and them,
succeeded in this project.
- Goals/Objectives : My student to be able to freely
express themselves in their story without having
the worry of spelling correctly. They will also be
able to develop their story having a beginning,
middle, and ending.
- Writing Development:I believe this is
an excellent digital tool for allowing
EL/EB to express themselves. My
student's also came up with their own
rubric. I suggested that it consist of
three different guidelines. They
decided that the project need to have
a capital letter on the title page, the
story should have a beginning, middle,
and end, and that the project should
be your very best work
- Reading Development: For this
project, I believe it was more writing
based, but I do think that there are
many ways to incorperate reading
development. For example, higher
level grades could write their own
story, not recording themselves, then
share it with other classmates to
read.
