Would you also like to teach Elementary students (Perfect for 2nd-4th)
how to Compare/Contrast Similar Texts? At the same time, would you like to
build student engagement, fluency and comprehension? Then we have the lesson
plan for you! Utilize the below lesson plan with our Reader’s Theater Script, “A

what you will find in all the Stories to Grow by Stories and Reader’s Theater Scripts.
This week’s Honesty story is The Native
American Cinderella from Canada:
The Native American Cinderella:
A unique version of a classic tale: A tale out of Canada
from the Abenaki tribe: a Native American warrior with very special gifts
searches for a maiden who is honest and worthy to be his bride. After a series
of beautiful but deceitful maidens, he finds a maiden who is truly honest, but
is she worthy? Find out here! Read the Script or the Story.
