Whole Class Read Alouds:
Tall Tales are folk tales told with humor and exaggeration. They were passed on in something called "oral tradition" meaning the stories were told for many years and generations before they were written down. Every Tall Tale reflects the culture, region and time period they were told. In most Tall Tales, the heroes have similar traits and abilities that are admired by others.
