Fables & Traditional Tales Text Set 1
Why did the boy cry wolf? What did the tortoise know that the rabbit did not? Who was right, the ant or the grasshopper? This set of 21 stories gives every student in your class something they can read on the oldest stories in the world — so the whole class builds the same knowledge and joins the same conversation.
Kids love a story with a trick, a race, or a lesson at the end. This text set turns that love into real knowledge of literature: characters, lessons, and the way stories are built.
Twenty-one retold fables and traditional tales from around the world, including The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Tortoise and the Rabbit, The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Dove King, and The North Wind and the Sun. Because the books range from simple to more challenging, every student — beginning readers and strong readers alike — can read about the same topic and contribute to the same discussion. Reading story after story builds the vocabulary and the sense of how stories work that make comprehension possible.
Fable titles feature classic stories from different cultures and backgrounds. Retold for K–2 classrooms and using beautiful artwork, these fiction stories introduce SEL themes to young learners.
Nonfiction titles offer a range of unique topics packed with real-world knowledge. These informational texts help young learners to develop their analytical skills and include key nonfiction text features (TOC, glossary, index, etc.).
