* High-Interest, Low Readability Fairy Tales with a Twist! * These 40 interactive Google Slides will help students improve reading comprehension skills with short, humorous stories, who, what, when, where, and why questions, and TONS of Cloze Reading practice!

Your struggling readers and on-level students will laugh-out-loud at the humorous twist on familiar childhood fairy tales. The stories use clever language to give the stories' events a more contemporary feel and are presented like newspaper articles.

The accompanying illustrations draw students further into the stories and add another humorous element. Struggling and/or reluctant readers in third grade through high school will find the stories amusing and fun to read.

Students will learn to apply comprehension strategies so that they can understand and retain the information they read. In addition, Cloze Reading practice helps students slow down and really understand the story, while using context clues to learn new vocabulary words. These funny short stories are perfect for grades 3 and up, as well as well as reluctant and struggling readers of all ages!
