Complementing the primary-level language arts curriculum, this series shows how folk and fairy tales promote active listening, sharpen comprehension skills, and extend vocabulary. Their simple, direct plots provide superb examples of structure, organization, and chronological sequencing and can be used to help students develop logic skills. The stories can be a springboard for teaching the analysis skills such as thinking critically, interpreting information, and predicting results. Teletales also can enhance the various social studies, as distant lands and distant times are brought near.

Program of Studies:
Reading: Forming a Foundation, Interpreting Text, Developing an Initial Understanding, Reflecting and Responding to Text, Demonstrating a Critical Stance
Speaking, Listening, and Observing
