3 The Stories Types of Stories fairy tales folktales Introduction Ways to Use the Stories 1. Directed lessons with small groups of students who are reading at the same level with an individual student with the class to support a unit of study 2. Partner reading 3. With cooperative learning groups 4. Independent practice at school at home Things to Consider 1. Determine your purpose for selecting a story instructional device, partner reading, group work, or independent reading. Each purpose calls for a different degree of story difficulty. 2. A single story may be used for more than one purpose. You might first use the story as an instructional tool, have partners read the story a second time for greater fluency, and then use the story at a later time for independent reading. 3. When presenting a story to a group or an individual for the first time, review any vocabulary that will be difficult to decode or understand. Many students will benefit from a review of the vocabulary page and the questions before they read the story by Evan-Moor Corp. 2 Fairy Tales & Folktales EMC 756

4 Skills Pages Types of Skill Pages Three or four pages of activities covering a variety of reading skills follow each story: comprehension vocabulary phonics structural analysis parts of speech categorizing Ways to Use Skill Pages 1. Individualize skill practice for each student with tasks that are appropriate for his or her needs. 2. As directed minilessons, the skill pages may be used in several ways: Make a transparency for students to follow as you work through the lesson. Write the activity on the board and call on students to fill in the answers. Reproduce the page for everyone to use as you direct the lesson. 3. When using the skill pages for independent practice, make sure that the skills have been introduced to the reader. Review the directions and check for understanding. Review the completed lesson with the students to determine if further practice is needed by Evan-Moor Corp. 3 Fairy Tales & Folktales EMC 756
