Looking for chapter books with a focus on fairy tales? Here are a few that my students love:
Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu
Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
Ever After High Series by Shannon Hale
Reckless by Cornelia Funke
Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin by Liesl Shurtliff
The Sisters Grimm: The Fairy Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley
Two novels that are phenomenal for teaching point of view:
Wonder by R. J. PalacioWithout giving too much away, the story revolves around August Pullman, a boy with such severe physical disabilities that he’s never been to school. We meet him at the outset of the story and we know he is horribly disfigured; however, we don’t know why or what he looks like, as he is the one telling the story. As the story unfolds, different characters tell the story and fill in the holes and answer our questions. Each character has his or her own point of view. One of the most powerful books I’ve read—and a must read every year. Palacio has written a follow-up, The Julian Chapter.
Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob BuyeaAnother excellent example of multiple characters telling the story and giving their account of an accident that happens to their teacher. Each character has a distinct personality and a distinct voice.
Other books for point of view:
Dear Mrs. LaRue Letters from Obedience School by Mark Teague
Detective LaRue Letters from the Investigation by Mark Teague
Encounter by Jane Yolen
LaRue for Mayor by Mark Teague
Nettie’s Trip South by Ann Turner
One Green Apple by Eve Bunting
The Other Side by Jacqueline Woodson
Books for persuasive and opinion writing:
I Wanna New Room by Karen Kaufman OrloffThis is the book I would lead off with when doing an introduction to persuasion writing. While it is also a primary book, it is funny and engaging and full of voice. And if students have heard it before, they never get tired of it! Alex wants a room separate from his brother, so he writes to his parents about his reasons. They respond. Easy for students to understand the concept (and the idea of supporting your opinion with reasons).
And here are a few others to start you with persuasive and opinion writing:
Earrings! by Judith Viorst
Have I Got a Book for You! by Melanie Watt
It’s Hard to Be a Verb! by Julia Cook
The Promise by Nicola Davies
Warp Speed by Lisa Yee
Reader’s Theater:
Another Point of View: Readers Theater Fairy Tales and Activities by Nancy Polette
