A read-aloud anthology focuses on fables. Over three weeks, first graders listen to various stories and then participate in lessons that cover story elements, including plot, characters, setting, and personification and explore characteristics of fables. The unit highlights fables such as "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Good and the Golden Egg," "The Tale of Peter Rabit," and more!
