Traditional stories like The Tortoise and the Hare are often referenced in other stories because the author thinks that they are “common knowledge”. We also see them show up on standardized tests because they are old enough to be free of copyright. Additionally, these stories have morals that can be used to teach character education. There are so many reasons to teach traditional stories.
This packet helps you teach the traditional story, but also work on reading comprehension, vocabulary and written response. Download this free packet for a whole week’s worth of work on The Tortoise and the Hare from my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
