Pages 1 to 5 each hold a fable and four questions, the last about its lesson. Page 6 retells any fable in three boxes to draw and write. The Words to Know at the top of a page are shown with their pictures.
Read a fable aloud first, then let students read it to a partner. Talk about the lesson before the last question: what did the character learn, and could it help us too?
Read a fable together and ask your child what the lesson is, in their own words.
Five fables retold in words 1st graders can read: The Dog and the Bone, The Lion and the Mouse, The Tortoise and the Hare, The Ant and the Dove, and The Fox and the Grapes. Students answer questions about the characters and events, find each fable's lesson, and retell one in order.
