Stories: Supplemental Guide 191

Name

Dear Family Member,

Over the next several days, your child will listen to several classic stories including:

• “Chicken Little”


• “The Three Little Pigs”


• “The Three Billy Goats Gruff”


• “The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids”


• “The Bremen Town Musicians”

I have included pictures from the story “The Three Little Pigs” so that your child can

tell this story to you. As your child tells this story to you, ask him/her about:

• Setting—Where the story takes place, like in the forest, on a bridge, or inside a
  house.


• Plot —What happens in the story; what happens at the beginning, middle and end
  of the story.


• Character—Who is in the story; sometimes the characters are animals that can
  talk, sometimes characters are people.

Below are some suggestions for activities that you can do at home to enjoy stories

with your child.

1. Stories from Around the World

This is a great time to share stories in your home language with your child. At the

middle and end of this unit, there will be opportunities for your child to share the story

with the rest of the class.

2. Theater at Home

Help your child act out a story s/he has heard in class. If other family members are

available, they can play a part, too!

3. Read Aloud Each Day

Set aside time to read to your child every day. The library or your child’s teacher may

have good stories you can read to your child. I have included a list of books to this letter

for you.

I hope you and your child enjoy many wonderful adventures through stories!
