Description: The wind and the sun are playing a game. Who will win? This is a retelling of Aesop's classic fable, the Wind and the Sun. Children can listen as they read along with this ebook featuring audio. The story is adapted for English learners and illustrated with real photos that will capture children's imaginations. Your students will develop fluency and vocabulary as they listen and read. You can make the story available in learning centers, project it on the whiteboard for whole-class instruction or assign it for children to practice reading at home. I wrote this story for my students, who are learning English as a foreign language in elementary school. I wanted some ebooks that I could send them to practice reading at home. I found ebooks to buy for my classroom, but none that I could send to families. So I wrote some myself!
