TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID THIS…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Redfish Resources. Says… “I needed something to teach the genre of traditional literature and help my students understand the characteristics of fables. This helped them comprehend the genre and, in turn, the purpose of the fables. They were exposed to common fables, which helps them with comparing and contrasting with other pieces of literature. Super resource! Highly recommend!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alessia S. says, “My students and I loved how easily this resource was presented. It was definitely a great addition to our fables unit. Students were able to navigate this fable through the different animals and if they were unclear on the moral of the fable, the next slide would answer their question. Great for in-person and virtual learning.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mindy P. Says, “Oh my gosh, I loved this resource! My 8-year-old and 6 year old daughter loved acting out the fables. We made the mini fables and morals into a matching game and had a blast. There were so many different things to do with this resource. It was a complete unit for Fables. Perfect in every way!”
