Folktales from Around the Globe There is nothing like a good picture book to stir a child's imagination and create excitement about reading. Over the years, August House has published an extensive collection of award-winning children's picture books with stories from the world’s great oral traditions. Now, many of these folktales are available online as animated stories with read-to-me versions, as well as read-along narratives supported by differentiated lesson plans aligned with the Common Core Standards. |

- Strengthen core reading skills (Comprehension, Phonics, Fluency, and Vocabulary)
- Expand a child’s world view
- Nurture a child’s love of reading
- Increase a child’s understanding of different cultural traditions
- Reinforce positive character traits and values
- Provide a model for decision-making with positive and negative consequences
