Pages 1 to 5 each hold a tale and four questions, the last about its lesson. Page 6 matches the tales to their lessons, and page 7 is an organizer for finding the lesson in any fable or folktale.
Read a tale aloud, then let partners retell it to each other before they answer. Talk about how a fable and a folktale are alike: both are old stories told to teach something.
Read a tale together and ask your child what the lesson is, and when it could help them.
Three of Aesop's fables and two folktales from Nigeria, retold in our own words: The Tortoise and the Hare, The North Wind and the Sun, The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, Tortoise's Tug of War, and Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky. Students answer who, what, where, why and how questions and find each tale's lesson.
