Traditional/Folk Literature
Caldecott Award Winner
Fables by Arnold Lobel is a book that is filled with fables from cover-to-cover. Each of the fables in the book teaches a valuable lesson that can be discussed and/or learned from. Students find this book captivating because it includes many characteristics, such as personified animals, that make it entertaining and larger than life.
This book is a MUST HAVE for all teachers. Not only is it a book full of fables, it is a book full of running record, fluency, and comprehension assessments. Each fable is only a page long, therefore teachers can meet with small groups of students to assess them while they read. Questions can be asked after reading in order to see if students comprehended the plot and the lesson of the fable they read. When preparing for the 3rd grade EOG, it would be beneficial for students to pinpoint the main characters, the problem, and the solution of these fables.
