Why Learn English? Miss Maria’s Magic Backpack | Illustrated Story & Activities for Young Learners

A new friend, a squeaky dragon and a treasure game… what else is hiding in Miss Maria’s backpack?

This charming illustrated story helps children discover why learning English matters to them: they can make friends, enjoy stories, help others and play together. Along the way, a gentle “Let’s try again!” reminds them that mistakes are part of learning.

The printable pack includes:

• Six illustrated story pages with simple English and large, rounded lettering.

• Two illustrated activity pages with picture matching, phrase choices, mini role-play and a creative drawing task.

• A separate storybook cover.

Designed for beginner EFL/ESL and primary English classes, with teacher-led reading and very little writing. Ideal for welcoming new learners, introducing the purpose of English lessons or giving a class a little confidence boost.

Little words. Big adventures. One word at a time!
