Each book in the series contains between 7 and12 pockets of activities. For every pocket there are reading, writing, and "make-it" projects that extend the literature concept or book being studied. The completed projects are an authentic assessment of what each student has learned. You get a reproducible label for each pocket, complete teacher directions for all activities, all needed patterns, and photographs of the completed projects. Every pocket in Folktales & Fairy Tales for Grades 23 begins with a two-page reproducible retelling of a tale. There is a teacher resource page that offers suggestions for sharing the tale. Comprehension, art, and writing activities follow, helping the story come to life for students. Two pages of evaluation forms help both teacher and student assess what was learned.

Henny Penny
The Brave Little Tailor
The Fisherman and His Wife
Jack and the Beanstalk
The Elves and the Shoemaker
