Practical Applications

Learning from Stories

Stories Teach Us Lessons

Stories are fun, but they also help us learn about feelings, making choices, and working with others.

What to Look For

  • What did the characters learn?
  • How did they solve their problems?
  • What lesson can you use in your own life?

Bringing Lessons Home

After reading, think about how you can use the story’s lesson in your family, school, or community.

Examples

  • Reading about a character who learns to share toys.

  • Thinking about how to be a good friend after reading a story.
