·Aesops's fables ·Anansi tales ·Pourquoi tales ·Mitch and Martha books ·Tales in a Nutshell (see links) Suggestions:

Step 2: LEARNING the TALE After first read-through, have students circle strange words Provide alternate words or phrases As they learn story better, they should underline important words or phrases Storyboarding helps understanding, plus easier to tell from pictures than words
