Theme 2: My Family, My Community

Teacher Read Aloud

Three Teacher Read Aloud Stories are provided in the Teacher's Book for each theme. Each engaging story is a fable or a fairy tale from a different culture or region of the world and includes three beautiful and original full-page illustrations.

Teacher support for the stories includes important theme-related vocabulary and model questions designed to increase comprehension and oral language. The stories are also available in an audio format on the Theme CDs.
