This course is designed to introduce K-8 teachers to folk literature from many cultures. The provided texts offer a delightful collection of largely unfamiliar tales plus activities to use in the classroom. Folktales promise a fresh and exciting reading experience. They invite application to everyday life and experience. Using these folk tales should enrich the teaching of reading, including comprehension, vocabulary, and listening skills. The tales also provide a natural link to the study of culture, geography, and values. The resources are ideal for ESL learners of all ages. This course meets national standards and may be completed with or without students.
