Introduction
The Stories
Types of Stories
• fairy tales
• folktales
Ways to Use the Stories
1. Directed lessons
• with small groups of students who are reading at the
same level
• with an individual student
• with the class to support a unit of study
2. Partner reading
3. With cooperative learning groups
4. Independent practice
• at school
• at home
Things to Consider
1. Determine your purpose for selecting a story—instructional
device, partner reading, group work, or independent reading.
Each purpose calls for a different degree of story difficulty.
2. A single story may be used for more than one purpose.
You might first use the story as an instructional tool, have
partners read the story a second time for greater fluency,
and then use the story at a later time for independent reading.
3. When presenting a story to a group or an individual for the
first time, review any vocabulary that will be difficult to decode
or understand. Many students will benefit from a review of the
vocabulary page and the questions before they read the story.

Skills Pages
Types of Skill Pages
Three or four pages of activities covering a variety of
reading skills follow each story:
• comprehension
• vocabulary
• phonics
• structural analysis
• parts of speech
• categorizing
Ways to Use Skill Pages
1. Individualize skill practice for each student with tasks
that are appropriate for his or her needs.

2. As directed minilessons, the skill pages may be used in
several ways:
• Make a transparency for students to follow as you
work through the lesson.
• Write the activity on the board and call on students
to fill in the answers.
• Reproduce the page for everyone to use as you
direct the lesson.
3. When using the skill pages for independent practice,
make sure that the skills have been introduced to the
reader. Review the directions and check for understanding.
Review the completed lesson with the students to determine
if further practice is needed.

The house was so loud. The boys
were yelling. The girls were crying.
Father was pounding. Mother sat down.
“I can’t do my work,” she said. “It is too
loud!”
She went to see Grandpa.
“Grandpa, my house is too loud. The
boys are yelling. The girls are crying.
Father is pounding. What can I do?”
Grandpa looked up. “No problem,”
he said. “Bring the dog and the cat into
the house.”
Mother walked home. She called
the dog and the cat into the house. The
boys were yelling. The girls were crying.
Father was pounding. And the dog was
barking at the cat. Mother sat down.
“I can’t do my work,” she said. “It is too
loud!”
She went back to Grandpa.
“Grandpa, my house is louder. The boys
are still yelling. The girls are still crying.
Father is still pounding. And now the
dog is barking at the cat. What can
I do?”
Grandpa nodded. “No problem,” he
said. “Bring the rooster and the cow into
the house.”

Mother walked home. She pulled the cow and the
rooster into the house. The boys were yelling. The girls
were crying. Father was pounding. The dog was barking at
the cat. The cow was mooing. And the rooster was crowing.
Mother sat down. “I can’t do my work,” she said. “It is too
loud!”
She went back to Grandpa. “Grandpa, my house is
louder. The boys are still yelling. The girls are still crying.
Father is still pounding. The dog is still barking at the cat.
Now the cow is mooing and the rooster is crowing. What
can I do?”
Grandpa smiled. “No problem,” he said. “The cat and
the dog and the cow and the rooster must go back outside.”
Mother walked back
home. She took the cow,
the rooster, the dog, and
the cat outside. The boys
were still yelling. The girls
were still crying. Father
was still pounding.
Mother smiled. “Now
I can do my work! It
is so quiet.”
