English Language Arts Resources

Do you need an engaging writing resource for your fairy tale unit? We've covered all the elements, characters, and settings for the perfect story. Students build worlds, develop character profiles, and map a three-act structure for a fantastic fairy tale writing adventure!

The Benefits of Fairy Tales

Character Building - Fairy tales often feature clear-cut moral lessons about the importance of being kind, brave, and honest.

Creativity - Fairy tales are full of fantasy and magic, which can help children explore their creativity and expand their thinking.

Perseverance - Many fairy tales feature characters who overcome challenges and obstacles to achieve their goals. This can teach children they can overcome challenges if they never give up.

Social-emotional learning - Fairy tales often deal with complex emotions, such as fear, anger, and love. This can help children learn to identify and manage emotions.

The Fairy Tale Writing Planner Includes:

Outline - brainstorm and craft the main elements of their fairy tale with the outline planner. Who is the main character? Which challenges and rewards will their story explore? Lots of themes and keywords are included to choose from.

Character Profiles - students can build up to four character profiles for the heroes and villains in this new fairy tale! Explore personality traits, appearance, hopes and dreams, and more!

Structure - plot the framework for their fairy tale using a simplified three-act structure planner. This is a great way for students to keep their fairy-tale flowing and moving at the right pace.

World Builder - a great fairy tale world is rich in details, creatures, and landscapes. What is the name of this new fairy tale world? Who are its inhabitants? Set the scene for the main and secondary settings.

Themes and Characters - students can explore common fairy tale themes and characters (love, fairy godmothers, villains, good vs. evil, self-discovery)

Settings and Magical Items - from forests to castles to faraway lands, fairy tales can have a wide range of settings, each with its own unique features! Students also learn more about the purpose magical items serve and how to include them.

We've got even more details in our blog post The Best Guide Ever for Amazing Fairy Tale Writing and would love for you to check it out!

Jigsaws showing CVC word pictures with words to match.

Why do you need this?

Matching pictures with corresponding CVC words helps students develop word recognition skills. By associating the visual image with the written word, students strengthen their ability to identify and read CVC words independently.

Jigsaw activities provide a hands-on and interactive approach to learning CVC words. Students manipulate puzzle pieces, which enhances their fine motor skills while actively engaging with the material.

How and when might you use this?

This activity could be used in a variety of way:

· Literacy centers

· Small group instruction to provide targeted support

· Independent work stations

· Early morning work

· Homework for additional practice

· Assessment

For continued use I would recommend laminating this resource and using Velcro to move the jigsaw pieces around.

What is included?

Included are 49 pictures and corresponding word jigsaw cards.
