Favorite Stories
from Horace Mann!
At school, kindergarten, first, and second grade students learn to read. As students move into the third, fourth, and fifth grades and above, they learn to read for information and enjoyment. Reading from elementary to middle school helps all students increase their vocabularies and reading fluency! Students should read a wide variety of stories to increase their vocabularies and understanding of what makes good literature.
We have a couple of favorite stories below that can be read just for fun or used with lessons. When clicked, each of the stories will open up with a popup window. To return to this index page, just close out the popup window. If you find a story that has a copy write, please e-mail us to remove the page. Thanks.
We would encourage students and parents to read some of these at home. Hope you enjoy them!
