A multiple choice quiz after reading is a quick and easy way to check student comprehension, but it doesn't allow you to assess deeper understanding and it certainly isn't fun or creative.

Everything you need to teach The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame to your students in a Special Education/LIFE skills setting (minus the book). This unit is designed to last 4-6 weeks. During the unit students learn to: -complete graphic organizers -define vocabulary in multiple ways -express and extend their ideas through journaling -describe characters -explain the plot -answer 'wh' comprehension questions -fill in sentences from the text to show their comprehension -complete a Claim Evidence Reasoning (CER) writing Each assignment is modified from least to most visual support needed, with errorless assignments included so all levels of learners are able to access and participate in the general education curriculum through prerequisite skills. Boardmaker PCS are used throughout the unit. This is minimal prep for teachers and assignments may even be uploaded into google classroom or other online tools to include technology. Note: This novel study was based on the adapted book (free resource) from the Sherlock Center at Rhode Island College. There are some details used from the original story to supplement and clarify the plot. When teaching this I suggest using the original version or a picture book as a read aloud and using the adapted novel in small group instruction.

This novel study for The Cay includes questions for each chapter, a before reading activity, two characterization activities, two context clues activities, two inferencing activities, and a review card game. Questions are text dependent and written specifically for this novel. There is one page of text dependent questions for each chapter of this novel, Theodore Taylor's The Cay. Each one has eight questions including characterization questions, context clues questions, and inferencing questions with lines for students' answers. These can be used for interactive notebook pages or for chapter assessments of these three important skills. The prereading activity sets up the story with questions about the setting of The Cay and a prereading word sort. One characterization activity is a character map about the main character, Phillip. The other is a characterization chart about several important characters. The context clues activities involve locating the clues, defining words from context clues, and choosing from multiple meanings. The inferencing activities ask students to make inferences using evidence and quotations from the story. The I Have . . .Who Has . . ? game is a fun whole class activity for reviewing details from the novel after reading. The Easel Activity is ready to use with answer boxes for student responses. It includes all of the chapter questions and activity sheets. The printable card game is located in the PDF file. This novel study supports a number of the Reading: Literature standards, especially those involving using text-based evidence, determining main ideas and details, using context clues, and making inferences.
