The focus is on narration with the intention of imparting English language skills, enhancing word power and even style of presentation and inculcating the reading habit.
What is lacking is the reading material in English for students whose mother tongue is other than English. The desire to read is being encouraged by narrating stories from familiar background so that the reader need not labour to understand the contents and also the language simultaneously. The latter is made easier through known or familiar stories.
Intention to emphasize is to provide easily understood narratives to help the reader to acquire proficiency in English and go forward in enhancing ones language skills.
