Have you ever wanted to read a novel to your special education students but thought there was no way they would sit and listen? Persevere, it is worth it!!

I was always reading a novel to my students, regardless of their learning level. The lesson of learning to sit while someone is talking is an invaluable skill that is worthwhile teaching.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOVEL UNIT IS FOR STUDENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES AND ARE EITHER EMERGING OR NON-READERS AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE NOVEL OR AN ADAPTED VERSION.

⭐ YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN COPY OF THE BOOK.⭐

Many of the activities include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

There is at least one activity to go with each chapter as your students stay engaged while you read this novel aloud.

There are 2 complete files to accompany this unit. One is in color, and one is in black and white.

There are 5 multiple-choice questions for every chapter. Each question has 3 picture answer choices. An answer key and reference pages for the questions are included.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to assimilate what is being taught fully. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, asking students good questions will push them to think more deeply than before.
