Fairy Tales Reading Comprehension Worksheets
Why is it important to still teach and read fairy tales to children?
Fairy Tales are an important literacy resource of literacy lessons as they are a springboard to teaching children all about author’s purpose, text to self connection, reflecting on characters’ behaviors, character traits and
identifying the moral of the story! I find using fairy tales as mentor texts invaluable in terms of learning about the different story elements and also highlighting what engaging writing looks like.
Fairy tales offer a plethora of opportunities to discuss fairy tale characters, plot, setting, problem, conflict, resolution and character traits.
5 reasons why we should include Fairy Tales in our teaching and learning program:
- Fairy tales foster cultural awareness and diversity
- Fairy tales often teach moral lessons and values to children
- Fairy tales provide entertainment in the way of storytelling
- Fairy tales help children gain the perspective of a character and understand different emotions
- Fairy tales inspire children to develop a love of reading, story writing and literature
