Novel Units

We both love using literature in the Common Core classroom. We have created over 60 reading comprehension guides that are aligned with the Common Core Standards. These reading guides provide students with comprehension questions, reading strategy practice, and fun and engaging ways for them to show what they have learned.

Please check out our FREE novel unit for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.
