Instructional Ideas

• Incorporate into a unit on fairy tales
• Have young class members act out the story
• Add to a reading assessment

Classroom Considerations

• The questions for the resource are weak, including two different spellings of the vocabulary word from the passage; consider using the story and writing your own questions
• The tale ends with the woodsman cutting off the wolf's head, rather than with the wolf eating Little Red Riding Hood

Pros

• Two-page format puts the story back-to-back, with the questions adding an additional page
• Provides a standard retelling of the classic story

Cons

• None
