When a little old lady bakes a gingerbread man, he comes alive and runs away. She chases him and along the way other animals try convincing him to stop. Finally, he arrives at a river where he must decide whether to accept an old fox’s help. Orange level titles introduce new words and reinforce those already encountered. Three-syllable words are included and readers encounter different story structures – such as traditional tales and plays – to build writing skills. Available for Levels 15-24, PM Traditional Tales and Plays retell classic tales in a simplified language and form that children can understand. Teachers use the tales in guided reading sessions and children can later read them with confidence and understanding. Parts are colour-coded for easy recognition. #pm19-offer
