A classic that's been around for years, and is used all over the world, this is the first student/teacher book based on James J. Asher's Total Physical Response (TPR). Each page has an illustrated action series of imperatives in a logical order, telling how to do an activity that everyone is familiar with (get up in the morning, chew a piece of gum, iron a shirt, open a present, eat an orange, clean house, take a hike, 67 in all!).
 Each lesson is basically an excellent vocabulary lesson which teaches the words in a fun context to be acted out in class. Instructions are included for getting students to the point where they can tell each other what to do, one person giving the instructions and the other performing each action as it comes.
 Once they have learned the vocabulary, they are ready to learn to use the words in other contexts and in the future, past, and present tenses.

Fluency Through TPR Storytelling: Achieving Real Language Acquisition in School 7th Edition
 by Blaine Ray and Contee Seely
 The definitive treatment of TPR Storytelling by the originator and by a longtime TPR teacher/author. From day one students understand everything they hear and read in their new language and are answering numerous questions about stories. In the first weeks students acquire a basic comprehension vocabulary and the most essential structures. In two or three months they are able to express themselves with fluency appropriate to their level. Teachers love what their students can do. Students do too. Shows how to keep students acquiring with fascination at every level. Includes a chapter on how to adapt a standard textbook to use TPRS. Language acquisition expert Stephen Krashen says, TPR Storytelling is much better than anything else out there.
