Retold Tales® Literature
Adapted cultural tales and classic literature to support your curriculum
Designed for secondary students reading below grade level, Retold novels and anthologies align with commonly taught American, British, and world literature; novels; and myths and folktales. Authentic adaptations maintain the voice, style, and overall meaning of the original text, while comprehension support for English learners and striving readers provides the foundation for inclusive discussions of classic works.
The Retold Classics, Myths, etc. have been favorites, especially with my reluctant readers.
