Fables and Stories: Supplemental Guide | Introduction 1
This introduction includes the necessary background information to
be used in teaching the Fables and Stories domain. The Supplemental
Guide for Fables and Stories contains ten daily lessons each of which
is composed of two distinct parts. Odd-numbered lessons contain
Supplemental Guide activities while even-numbered lessons feature
extension activities related to the stories read. All lessons may be
divided into smaller chunks of time and presented at different intervals
during the day.
Lesson Structure

be covered at different intervals during the day.
Part A (40 minutes) includes:
- Introducing the Read-Aloud

- Discussing the Read-Aloud
If necessary, Part A can be divided into two sessions: Fifteen minutes
for Introducing the Read-Aloud up to—but not including—Purpose for
Listening; and twenty-five minutes for Purpose for Listening, Presenting

Later in the day, Part B (20 minutes) should be covered and includes the
activities unique to the Supplemental Guide: - Multiple Meaning Word Activity
