Wild Tales provides opportunities for students to study words in the context of factual passages about animals. Students mark various letter patterns, copy passages, and produce their own compositions or drawings. They also practice writing the passages from dictation with assistance. This level is for a student who knows letter sounds and can spell many common words correctly.
