Comparative Literature Study: Little Red Riding Hood

Printables & MoreHomeschool & EDU
Written By Rebecca Grabill

Nearly every elementary school teacher will need to prep a lesson on fairy tales, specifically comparing fairy tale versions. Many wonderful options exist, and many we’ve used ourselves: Cinderella (and the endless string of knock-offs from Halloween versions to blockbuster adaptations to international versions), Goldilocks, The Three Little Pigs. One of my favorites has always been Little Red Riding Hood.

Of course when it came time to write a fractured fairy tale of my own, I picked one of my favorite tales! And of course I had to create a printable pack so educators and parents can really dig into the value of my book.

Little Red Riding Hood Comparative Literature Printable Pack

This printable pack contains everything you need to introduce the cutest new retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. It's called Violet and the Woof and is part tale of imagination, and part adventure!

The book begins with Violet narrating herself and her baby brother into a familiar story and ends with the story becoming far more REAL than she expected! A perfect introduction to comparative tales, and a classroom favorite for teaching kindness--and fairy tales--with a sensitive, inclusive picture book.

Included in the printable pack:

  • Venn Diagram comparing Violet and the Woof and Little Red Riding Hood (one simple/picture only for PreK/K, one text for older students)

  • Story Order Activity Sheet (one picture-based, one text and picture)

  • Printable Puppets & Puppet Theatre for retelling the story

Find a FREE comparative literature printable unit study based on Violet and the Woof and Little Red Riding Hood.

What’s your favorite fairy tale to use in the classroom?

Rebecca has been writing since childhood, her first book about a kitten published between homemade cardboard covers in second grade. Although she studied religion and philosophy in university, she continued writing, earning an MFA from Hamline University and publishing multiple picture books (no longer with homemade covers) and a collection of poetry with a variety of New York and independent publishers. She has also published a wide array of fiction, essays, and poetry in magazines and journals and photographs for Getty Images. She balances writing with homeschooling the younger of her six children, launching her young adults, church activities, and overseeing a small flock of chickens in rural West Michigan.
