Read & Respond: The Snail and the Whale provides teachers with a wealth of resources to teach The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Notes and activities reflect the way that teachers teach now and include shared texts, guided reading notes, reading activities, speaking and listening activities, writing projects and assessment guidance. The Snail and the Whale is a delightful picture book (by the team that brought us The Gruffalo) about a snail who goes on adventure on the back of a whale.
