Welcome to the online fairy tales page! People have been telling each other fairy tales since ancient times. A very significant literature genre, fairy tales are present in all cultures around the world. In comparison to myths and legends, the time and place of occurrence in fairy tales are not defined. Their characteristics include the appearance of fantastic elements in the form of talking animals, magic, witches and giants, knights and heroes. It wasn't until the 17th century that fairy tales in Europe were written down and preserved for future generations. The first to do research on fairy tales was the indologist Theodor Benfey during the 19th century.

Comic Creator The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading activities, response to literature, and so on). The organizers focus on the key elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds, characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue (shown at left). This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment.

Handwritten Fonts – Free Fonts of the Week nr. 6 Before inventing printing machines and metal types, handwriting remained the only way to save the literary works on paper and deliver the gained knowledge to the next generations. In many parts of the world, handwritten scripts achieved the levels of true art with aesthetic perfection of the lines and glyphs. Today, handwritten fonts remain extremely popular among designers, especially for such projects as logo or greeting cards designs, where personal appeal and high artistic qualities of the printed text value much more than its plain readability.

Play Kids Games. gnitive Differences Between Adults & Children Author: Jeff Durham - Updated: 15 September 2012| Comment There’s an old saying that goes “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” and, whether you believe that or not, the same principle cannot be applied to humans. In fact, adults can learn just as easily as children but there are several basic differences between what works effectively for adults and what works best for children. Experience Of Life As an adult, you’ll have had far more experience of life in general than a child and whilst this can help an adult more than a child when it comes to learning, it can also hinder them and a child’s lesser experiences can occasionally prove more beneficial. How Adults And Children Use Different Techniques For Learning For an adult learner, their experiences of life will have been far more vast and diverse than that of a child’s and their brain’s maturity will enable them to apply their learning through relating it to certain experiences they’ve had. The Significance Of ‘Purpose’ In Learning

While I love to write about books in my book reviews, lots of children don't share my enthusiasm. If your kids or students groan at the mere mention of writing a book report, consider some alternative ideas. Instead of a book report, have your kids make a book trailer! If you're not sure where to start, check out this article by Kim Chatel, Making a Digital Story with Kids. Book trailers are a great way to have children focus on summarising plot while also attempting to convey something of the mood or tone of a novel. You can find many examples of downloadable book trailers suitable for children at Book Trailers - Movies for Literacy. Making a book trailer or any short video with your kids/students is a perfect time to discuss copyright with them. Instead of a book report, have your kids design a poster. Instead of a book report, have your kids design an advertisement for the book.
This is an awesome website. There is a game specifically for Vocabulary. Under the vocabulary game a student or teacher can choose the grade level and focus on phonic words or sight words. The sight words can be very useful for emergent readers. by bonita21 Nov 2
Teachers can upload their own lists of spelling and vocabulary words. Entertaining games and activities make it fun for students to study the words. Some activities can also be printed out. by lisabishop Jul 24
I signed up for the free membership for this site and there are tons of benefits. As the other comments have stated, you can create your own word lists or use other common word lists. The lessons for students allow them to click on words to hear the pronunciation, see the word spelled out, and hear a definition. If you sign up for the premium membership, you can track your students progress, but the free benefits seem helpful enough. by vr1v3ra Jul 24
