Last week we started reading fairy tales. So far we have read "The Fisherman and His Wife", and "The Emperor's New Clothes". This week we will read "Beauty and the Beast". Our instructional goal is to get a better understanding of literary theme within the stories. Many times when we read folktales, which includes fairy tales and tall tales, there is a story or moral the author wants us to learn. This week, as you choose books to read at home, ask your student the following questions:
- What is the message or lesson in the story?
- How do you know? What was the evidence that helped you know the message?
This week we will continue reading folktales, introducing tall tales to the mix as well.
I hope you have a great week!
