Show students the cover of the book. Ask them for the title and the author’s name. Have students
view the illustrations and help them “read” them. Ask:
¿De qué creen que trata el libro?
(What do you
think the book is about?)
¿Qué clase de persona creen que es Caperucita Roja?
(What kind of person do
you think Little Red Riding Hood is?)
¿Por qué crees que parte del título dice “tal como se la contaron a
Jorge”?
(Why do you think part of the title says “as told to Jorge”?).

Tell students they will read a fairy tale about a little girl named
Caperucita Roja
(Little Red Riding
Hood). Ask students if they have ever heard of this tale before.

Ask:
¿Qué es un cuento de hadas?
(What is a fairy tale?) Elicit that a fairy tale is a children’s story
about magical and imaginary beings and lands. Ask students how
Caperucita Roja
might fit
into this category. Then ask students to name other fairy tales they might know about, such as
Cinderella
, or
Jack and the Beanstalk
.

Read the text aloud. Then have the class read together in a choral
reading fashion. Ask:
¿Qué tipo de libro es?
(What kind of book is
this?)
¿Presenta un cuento o presenta información?
(Does it tell a story or give information?)
¿Ves los
mismos personajes en todo el libro?
(Do you see the same characters throughout the book?)
¿Tiene
muchas imágenes o tiene pocas?
(Does it have a lot of images or few?) Have students read along
with you, tracking print. Explain that it is a literary/narrative text because it has characters that
experience some problem throughout the story before finding a solution.

Write the following phrases on the board:
Había una vez
(Once upon a time),
cierta vez
(one day),
a salvo
(safe from),
colorín colorado
(and that's the end of the story). As the story is being read,
stop when these phrases appear in the text. Have students try to determine the meaning of these
phrases based on context clues. Explain that when a story begins with
“Había una vez…”
and ends
with
“Colorín Colorado, este cuento se ha acabado,"
those phrases are an indication that the story is a
fairy tale.

As you read the story, have students look at the different illustrations. Ask them to describe
how Jorge and his father are visualizing the story of
Caperucita Roja
. Have students describe the
similarities and differences of both visualizations. Use the Venn diagram (Graphic Organizer #15)
to document their responses visually as needed.

Read page 19. Have students look at the illustrations. Then ask
¿Por qué creen que Caperucita Roja no
reconoció al lobo?
(Why do you think Little Red Riding Hood did not recognize the wolf?)
X
Read pages 20–23 again. Have students describe what the wolf looks like. Ask:
¿Por qué Jorge
imaginó al lobo con una nariz tan grande, orejas grandísimas y una boca muy grande?
(Why did Jorge
imagine the wolf with a large nose, huge ears, and a really large mouth?)
X
Ask students which part of the story could be real and which parts are not real. Have them explain
their answers by pointing to illustrations that support or refute their statements.
