on 30 January 2008RRI Farmer Duck
This interactive read & respond CD-ROM is an excellent resource that helps children (and adults) to take a fresh look at this well loved tale.
The children really enjoyed the animated film clips- laughing as the animals wiggled under the Farmer’s bed. They particularly liked the different cross-curriculum video clips (of the ducks and tractor) and photographs. These were beneficial to children at different development levels allowing the children to work together (PSED) and expanding their knowledge and understanding of the world.
The children quickly found their way around the CD-ROM, accessing the different features including the on-screen activities.
The photocopiable pages are an added bonus, along with the teachers’ notes, allowing for further activities that could be incorporated into displays or work to take home.Rachel Hill, West End Tiny Tots Group, Lancashire

Case study
Eifron Watkinson, Addington School, Reading takes a look at Read & Respond Interactive: Farmer Duck for us.
Children were engaged with the animated film clips. They wanted to play them over several times. They were able to link them to the pictures in the book.
Text annotations were too difficult for the younger children but the KS2 co-ordinator agreed they would be good for her children, (we are a special needs school)
Work led onto performing a drama for other classes to watch that the children had written for themselves.
All the KS1 and Foundation Stage teachers were impressed by the resource which gave them new ideas based on a familiar book.
As co-ordinator I would buy this DVD for school as it was easy to use, provided motivating activities for staff and pupils and saved a lot of planning time.
I was able to use this supplemented by symbols from Widget programme. Great fun to use.
