Enrich a unit on fairy tales and tall tales with a set of read-aloud lessons. Second graders hone writing, vocabulary, comprehension, and literary analysis skills as they read classic stories. Complete with extension projects, discussion questions, images and graphics, assessment materials, and remediation ideas, the unit is an excellent addition to any language arts unit.

  • All auxiliary materials are attached below
  • Comes with a list of websites for additional resources
