Welcome to my free novel studies index page! I offer you a collection of classic novels and short stories that I originally published as weekly installments on my blog.
These stories are in the public domain, so I can give you the full text, along with vocabulary words and practice exercises to help your students engage with the story. You can also find comprehension questions and constructed response questions. Some units even include language arts skill lessons to help your students improve their reading and writing skills.
To find all the chapter parts of each story easily, just click on the titles under the circular images to go directly to the story you want.
I hope your students enjoy reading these classic tales and improve their reading and writing skills along the way. Happy reading!
