Teachers, librarians, parents and caregivers can use this guide to help them with the “Little White Fox” reading project here at Junior Dispatch.

This reading project began on February 27, 2012, but you can work on it any time.

Please check back on this page for updates as we haven’t processed all the chapters thus far.

CHAPTERS

We will update this index as the story is posted. There are 18 chapters in the book.

ADDITIONAL ARTICLES

We’ve posted a few other articles related to this reading project.

COLORING PAGES

We’ve made a few coloring pages for this series. You can make these foxes any color you want since it’s not much fun coloring with white crayons!
