Shadow puppet theatre has always been used to help bring stories to life, to give characters a voice. The methods have changed but that power is as strong as ever - which makes shadow puppets a wonderful medium for learning development.

Let the Shadows Speak is intended for teachers looking effective and exciting ways to help children express themselves - be it a developing bilingual, a child with learning difficulties or the high-flyer bored with the traditional book and needing a challenge. It is surprisingly easy to the classroom, and this book shows teachers how. From simple shapes cut out of black card backed with cellophane can emerge truly magical images that can be used to support the curriculum in Mathematics and Language.
