Using picture books for storytelling is common in all languages, and is a great way to introduce new language in the language classroom. The pictures immediately convey a sense of context that students will quickly understand!
Here are some Storyboards or kamishibai that I have made for using in class. Download them, print them out, put the words back-to-back with the pictures, and then laminate them together.
BE CAREFUL! You must put the words for the title page on the back of the last page, words for page 1 on the back of the title page, and so on!
