Tooth Fairy

Read Aloud Activity

When children in the

United States lose a

tooth, they put it under

their pillows. When

they are asleep, a tooth fairy comes

and takes their tooth and puts money

in its place. Some children get

quarters, others get dollar bills.

The tooth fairy is not real. The real

tooth fairy is the mother or father.

They sneak in their child’s room at

night and put the money under the

pillow. When the children wake up

and find the money, they think that a

real tooth fairy visited them.

The story about the tooth fairy is

folklore. It has been passed down

for many generations. Tooth fairies

are not real.
