Multicultural fairy tales & nature poems.

Part of a five book series with over 125 multi-cultural stories and poems that complement the pedagogical intentions of the language arts curriculum. Progressively controlled and increasingly rich sight and phonetic vocabulary development from story to story and book to book. Progressively developing sentence structures from story to story.

All stories are designed for forty-five minute periods, including instruction and discussion time. Grade two stories recapitulate the previous year's language arts curriculum. The series provides more than enough stories for a full year's worth of reading classes.
