Description:

Book 1: Fable teaches students the practice of close reading and comprehension, summarizing a story aloud and in writing, and amplification of a story through description and dialogue. Students learn how to identify different kinds of stories; determine the beginning, middle, and end of stories; recognize point of view; and see analogous situations, among other essential tools. Lessons include:

• Narration/telling it back (creating a natural sense of outline/sequence)
• Analogy—learning how this story is like/different from other stories
• Comprehension
• Sentence play/word play
• Rewriting (gaining a sense of internal structure of a piece of writing)
• Summary
• Amplification
• Rewriting given stories
• Speak It—experiencing the story from your own mouth (orally) with an audience for a different point of contact, often with some sort of change than the first time you heard it.

Students need elementary reading and handwriting skills or parents must be prepared to accomodate these skills to complete weekly assignments. If your child need reading or writing accomodations, please let us know.
