One of a series of four “Fairy Tales for the Millennium” from Prince Chameleon Press, this workbook is a self contained unit comprised of an original fairy tale, vocabulary exercises and discussion questions. The story is presented in short segments with a “Word Wizard” activity, questions and space for the creation of an illustration by the reader on each two-page spread. More activities and an answer key follow at the end of the resource. The story is beautifully narrated on a companion CD with music and sound effects. Useful for a Fairy Tale unit or as an independent enrichment activity in a learning centre or resource room setting, these four workbooks encourage vocabulary enrichment, and critical and creative thinking through an entertaining medium that children will enjoy.
