These stories offer a rich vein of world heritage, giving whanau at home and in the  classroom a doorway into the wonderful world of traditional tales. 
Storyways Lityeracy recommends this to teachers wanting to own their own story collection selected from 147 Traditional Stories for Primary School Children to Retell.  Teaching and learning the storytelling way helps children to gain their natural storytelling voice. Children love both listening to adults telling stories and telling stories themselves. These 53 World Tales for Family Storytelling can be shared at bedtime, on journeys, at parties or around the campfire, and in schools. These ready to tell stories are short, simple, and quick to learn. They draw on traditional tales, told in the voice of a storyteller. Parents/teachers can read or tell the stories, so children can soon tell the stories themselves. Such oral storytelling builds childrens confidence in their unique voices.
