Category Description for Rigorous Reading
Providing options for your homeschool or cooperative
learning environment, Rigorous Reading offers guides for specific books or
novels of your choosing. As students dissect the information in novels by
doing various activities in these guides, they will discover intricate details
about each book and appreciate a deeper understanding of the text. Guides are
written to the teacher with complete lesson instruction. A large part of the
book study consists of students keeping an interactive novel log. Students need
a three-ring binder, blank paper, and the reproducible worksheets from the
guide to complete the novel log. After a few chapters or sections of the book
are read, students complete activities in the novel log then other activities
in the literature guide. Some activities include answering comprehension
questions, filling in graphic organizers, creating a timeline of events, and
more. Answers are included in the back.
In-Depth Guide for Any Picture Book offers activities that can be modified for any picture book. Younger students (grades 2-4), guides students to interpret the picture book through multimodalities (looking at the text, visual images, and book design). For middle school (and beyond), the In-Depth Guides for Any Novel are available at two grade levels: Grades 3-5 and Grades 6+. These guide provide various activities to teach key literary terms. Students will keep an interactive novel log to track the introduction and development of literary elements. Pre-reading and post-reading activities, and sheets for analyzing characters, genre, and more are also included
