^{Primary students will read 54 different books of their choice, including picture books, science texts, biographies, poetry, and chapter books. Think it's too much? Not at all! Your students will be begging to earn their next belt level by reading more books! A comprehension activity comes with each belt level, culminating in reading aloud to the class at the brown belt, and presenting a book report for the black belt. My students absolutely love this - at all ages!}

Fairy Tales Genre Study

^{Fairy tales have been told for thousands of years, and come from every culture. The teacher reads aloud 8 different fairy tales, guides the students in comparing different versions, students anchor the elements of the genre through graphic organizers, answer higher-order thinking questions and write summaries for each one.}
