Why This Is Helpful

Children will review familiar books and movies to become familiar with elements of fairy tales. As they create their own personalized fairy tales, they practice writing skills and expand their knowledge of plot, character, and setting. By reading or acting out their tales, children practice oral presentation and literacy skills.
