Present
this story for reinforcement:
Class,
listen to this story and let us try to identify the sentences which express reality
and fantasy:
Every morning, if you look carefully,
you can see a Fairy Castle in the sunbeams.
Early morning is cleaning time. The
working fairies open all the windows and hang the silk blankets out to air.
They dust, scrub, and clean.
At exactly nine o’clock, Queen Fairy
comes out. She is going marketing. Her coach is a pretty shell, drawn by six
white butterflies. Over the Queen’s head is a fresh rose leaf. This keeps off
the sun so that the queen won’t get freckles on the nose.
Note: It is suggested that teacher
should prepare an illustration for this story if possible to emphasize the idea
of reality and fantasy.
After listening to the story and
looking at the illustration, have them identify the following sentences if
Reality or Fantasy using the R and F cards.
1. A castle can be found in the
sunbeams.
2. Blankets should be cleaned after
use.
3. The coach of the Queen is driven
by six white butterflies.
4. The sun’s heat can cause freckles
on the skin.

wolf, the goat said, “Wait, Brother Wolf! Look at these legs. You can see that
they are not fat enough for you. Please don’t eat me now.”
The wolf looked at the
goat’s legs.
The goat went on to
say, “My master will have a merry party next week. There will be so much good
food to eat that I shall grow fat.”
The wolf said, “If
that is true, you may go now. You may live until the party.”

wolf came back, but the goat was not in the field. The wolf found him sleeping
on the porch.
“Come down,” called
the wolf in a cheerful voice. Let me see how fat you are now.”
