Welcome to Squarehead Teachers, where I post my original teaching materials for FREE! Thanks for stopping by. Catch me on Pinterest, Facebook or Twitter!

I realized the other day that kids don’t seem to know Aesop’s fables very much! So I made a little collection incorporating some simple reading comprehension, grammar (parts of speech) and writing to teach a few. Here’s the plan:

Days 1-4: read a fable, complete questions on the bottom of the page. Click below to download the PDFs: 

The Ant and the Grasshopper

The Dog and His Reflection

The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf

The Tortoise and the Hare

Aesop Answer Key

Day 5:  Help kids write their own fable using this organizer –> Fable outline
