Young Tommy Fueller learns a dangerous secret about his father and the work he does. Enjoy guided reading with Progeny Press and The Drinking Gourd Study Guide, which is perfect for early chapter-book readers and makes a wonderful addition to a unit study. This guide starts with one main Vocabulary Unit. You may find that coming back to this unit after you are done studying the novel is the best use of this section. Then, reading the novel in chapter chunks, students will analyze and reflect on the story. Students are introduced to the literary concept of character. Prereading Activities provide context to what you will read. The After-You-Read Activities are suggested extension work to make connections to what you just read. A catered list of age-appropriate Further Reading books is provided. Answers are in the back on perforated pages for easy removal. 35 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca
