Welcome to my index blog page, where I share book units for 3rd through 6th graders! Reading novels helps students develop their literacy skills, imagination, and critical thinking abilities. I create resources to help teachers and parents guide students through studying books in a fun and engaging way.
Each post on this blog page includes novel study samples and teaching ideas with various activities, such as printable handouts, YouTube videos, and hands-on projects like recipes and art activities. On my blog page, you can find many options for novel studies to do with your child at home or in the classroom.
Learning should be enjoyable, and I design my book units to be educational and entertaining.
I hope this index blog page will inspire and motivate you to explore the wonderful world of novels with your readers. Happy reading!
