Do you need an engaging writing resource for your fairy tale unit? We've covered all the elements, characters, and settings for the perfect story. Students build worlds, develop character profiles, and map a three-act structure for a fantastic fairy tale writing adventure!

The Benefits of Fairy Tales

Character Building - Fairy tales often feature clear-cut moral lessons about the importance of being kind, brave, and honest.

Creativity - Fairy tales are full of fantasy and magic, which can help children explore their creativity and expand their thinking.

Perseverance - Many fairy tales feature characters who overcome challenges and obstacles to achieve their goals. This can teach children they can overcome challenges if they never give up.

Social-emotional learning - Fairy tales often deal with complex emotions, such as fear, anger, and love. This can help children learn to identify and manage emotions.

The Fairy Tale Writing Planner Includes:

Outline - brainstorm and craft the main elements of their fairy tale with the outline planner. Who is the main character? Which challenges and rewards will their story explore? Lots of themes and keywords are included to choose from.

Character Profiles - students can build up to four character profiles for the heroes and villains in this new fairy tale! Explore personality traits, appearance, hopes and dreams, and more!

Structure - plot the framework for their fairy tale using a simplified three-act structure planner. This is a great way for students to keep their fairy-tale flowing and moving at the right pace.

World Builder - a great fairy tale world is rich in details, creatures, and landscapes. What is the name of this new fairy tale world? Who are its inhabitants? Set the scene for the main and secondary settings.

Themes and Characters - students can explore common fairy tale themes and characters (love, fairy godmothers, villains, good vs. evil, self-discovery)

Settings and Magical Items - from forests to castles to faraway lands, fairy tales can have a wide range of settings, each with its own unique features! Students also learn more about the purpose magical items serve and how to include them.

5 worksheets, one for each vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u). The worksheets contain a large letter showing the vowel sound and then lots of pictures, children need to circle the pictures that have the correct corresponding vowel sound in the middle of the word.

Why do you need this?

Understanding short vowel sounds is fundamental to strong literacy skills, it lays the foundation for their early literacy skills and paves the way for successful reading and spelling. The ability to recognize and differentiate between short vowel sounds helps children sound out words, enabling them to read new and unfamiliar words with accuracy.

How and when might you use this?

These five worksheets immerse students in focused short vowel recognition using visuals and interactive searching tasks. Isolating each sound, a, e, i, o and u, through pictures and circling deepens early literacy abilities.

These worksheets can be used in a variety of ways:

· During small group phonics sessions

· Independent work stations or literacy centers

· Homework practice

· Guided reading groups

· Morning work

· Reading interventions for children who need additional support

I created these worksheets to allow students to use to context clues to find the meaning of unknown words. Students will find the given words within the novel "A Christmas Carol" and record the sentence in which the word can be found. Page numbers are provided to help with locating words. (Stave 2-5)

Students have the option to discuss the meaning of the words. They can either look up the meaning of the word or use context clues to define the words on their own.

I had the students complete these sheets after reading the section of the book, therefore the page numbers were helpful.

What's included:

• Worksheets for each of the five staves of "A Christmas Carol".

How is the product useful:

• Low prep for teacher.
• Page numbers guide students to finding the words within the text.

This is a fun analogy page that you can do during Valentine's Day or any other day. The students will find the relationship between the words and fill in the missing analogy. Then they will create their own.
