PM Purple: Sly Fox and Little Red Hen (PM Traditional Tales and Plays) Levels 19, 20 by Jenny Giles (author)

Light-hearted stories and fables about talking animals are a very old European tradition. This simple retelling omits the hen’s amazing skill with a needle and thread, but retains the original humour of the tale. Set in Britain in the 19th century.

Purple level titles introduce a variety of topics to promote reading for pleasure and offer plenty of opportunities to look at rhyme and rhythm within words to build fluency and phrasing.

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.
