How Novel Units from Differentiated Teaching Work...

▸ Teachers can introduce the day's vocabulary word & discuss it before reading.

▸ Students complete just one section of the trifold or a single Google Slide each day.

▸ Daily work focuses on target skills needed for success in reading vs. plot recall.

▸ The low-pressure format provides novelty & encourages student engagement

▸ Less overwhelming to reluctant readers and writers

▸ Requires deep analysis and application of text-based knowledge

▸ Encourages discussion about skills & strategies

Here's why teachers love these novel units...

♥ My students were thrilled that I was moving them to novels instead of the same old reading anthologies that they've been using forever. These allow me to teach the exact same skills that those cookie-cutter curriculum programs are teaching but, I can do it with meaningful novels, not just excerpts and short stories most of my students find ridiculous or boring!

♥ This has helped me so much in teaching Holes to my students this year. Other resources overwhelm students with too much vocabulary and literal comprehension questions but these slides give students one vocabulary word for each chapter and a grade-level higher-order comprehension skill to practice.

♥ My students and I LOVED this resource! It applies so well to the 4th grade standards. We read through the entire novel and did this novel study alongside. I also love that there is the Google Slides option because I like to use as little paper in my classroom as possible. This book is fantastic and I'm so happy there's a novel study to match it's perfection!

♥ I love how simple and consistent this product is. My students enjoyed using the bookmark to keep track of their reading. I really liked the calendar that broke down the different elements of the book; it made lesson planning EASY!

Here's what homeschool families have to say about the novel studies...

★ I LOVE the layout and how it guides my son and I through our reading time. As a homeschool parent, I still wanted to give him that opportunity to discuss and grapple with the text and I love this quick format as a brochure. I also love the vocab focus for each section and the skill listed so I can monitor his understanding of these as we move through a variety of texts this year. - Antonia S.

★ My kids LOVED this book companion. The vocabulary was rich, and I liked the focus on one word a day. I also liked that they had to use context clues rather than dictionary definitions... The tasks were a great review of skills I covered throughout the year. Parent-friendly and easy to implement. - Corinne M.

★ I am a homeschool mom and my daughter is enjoying the book and I am loving that she is able to respond to the reading through various aspects and not just answer questions. She is more engaged in her reading and asks more questions after she completes each task. - Terri B.
