Paired Text Collection
What does a real wolf eat? How did Cinderella get to the ball? Where does silk come from? This collection of 160 books gives every student in your class something they can read on a classic story and the real world behind it — so the whole class builds the same knowledge and joins the same conversation.
Essential questionWhat can a story teach us, and what can only the facts tell us?
Every fable and fairy tale raises a real-world question. This collection answers each one with three nonfiction books on the same topic.
All forty stories and one hundred twenty informational books from the Fables & the Real World and Story World Real World series: every paired text set Hameray publishes, in one collection. 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 book after book on one topic builds the vocabulary and background knowledge that make comprehension possible.
