The key here is to spend a little time simplifying the story text and making it into a series of repeated patterns of language. Something to remember about fairy tales is that they are fairly long stories and they don’t always have the repetitive language that is almost essential for teaching English to young learners. The children will get much more out of it if done over a series of lessons or if it ties in with a larger topic.
'Can you remember what this is called?' (pointing to the picture). You can go back over vocabulary after the story e.g. Arouse their interest? Yes - with the picture on the front cover, 'Who’s this?' 'Is this the wicked witch or the friendly fairy?' 'Does the princess look sad or happy?' etc. You don’t need to systematically pre-teach vocabulary.Get them guessing the next episode throughout the story.
