Independent reading at student created paced

Each novel study has the following key literacy elements:

Vocabulary:The students will increase their vocabulary with worksheets that are designed to

have students rewrite the words, alphabetize the words, and unscramble the words.

Usage:The students will better understand the meaning of the new vocabulary by seeing

the word used in sentences and identifying the correct spelling, creating a sentence andillustrating the use of the word, and filling a cloze story.

Comprehension:The questions come in two forms. The first is basic comprehension directly from

the story. This is your “Who, What, Where, Why, How, When” question.The second form is analysis of information and events in the story. The student is

required to explain an answer, respond as if they were in the story, or state what theythink the character(s) should do.

Sequencing:The student is required to take a list of events in the story and reorder them in a

sequence that correctly follows the story.

Creative Writing:The student will take what they have learned from the story and apply it to a

creative writing piece. The directions for the creative writing piece are set up in abulleted format (common to most state standardized tests) to encourage students toorganize their writing better.

EACH OF THE TWO NOVEL STUDIES CAN BE PRINTED ANDSTAPLED AS A PACKET USING THE INTRODUCTION AS THECOVER PAGE.
