What children learn in Level 40
- Characters' words and actions show what they are like. Big Bear stops to help Little Bird. That shows he is kind!
- Many stories teach a lesson. Big Bear helped Little Bird, and later Little Bird helped him. The lesson: friends help each other.
- In Snail and Fox, Fox bragged and napped, but Snail kept going and won. The lesson: keep going, even if you are slow.
- Ask: what does the character do? What does that show about them? What lesson do they learn?
