The Swan Maiden
Using this Super WHY! episode, students learn strategies for ending a play date using the story of "The Swan Maiden". Students will catch the alphabet using an alphabet net, identify the letters D, R, O, P, practice the magic of spelling, and use the power to read to change the story. Red really, really doesn’t want her play date with Little Boy Blue to end so she hides his horn. The reading heroes fly into the story upon which the ballet "Swan Lake" was based, where they encounter a fair maiden who is having a similar problem with a prince!
