If you are using the separate Teacher Guide, you have added discussion questions and more detailed lessons, but the student guide does include some outlined teacher guidance for a more independent learner. Students will be replying in short paragraphs in this guide to vocabulary and comprehension questions. Includes literary elements as enrichment to the comprehension questions. ~Sara

Description
Publisher's Description of The Reluctant Dragon Literature Student Guide | Memoria Press
This student guide contains reading notes, vocabulary, comprehension questions, important quotations, discussion questions, enrichment, and quizzes that work perfectly with the classic book.
The real story of St. George and the dragon is not exactly how you’ve heard it. Long ago—might have been hundreds of years ago—in a cottage half-way between this village and yonder shoulder of the Downs up there, a shepherd lived with his wife and their little son. And up high in the Downs appears one night a dragon. Big as four cart-horses and covered with shiny, deep-blue scales. Thankfully he is not like those other fellows, so active and earnest—always rampaging, and skirmishing, and scouring the desert sands, and chasing knights all over the place, and devouring damsels, and going on generally. This dragon is a well-mannered, erudite sort who loves a good dinner party and making up poetry—verses, you know?
But even the most modest and retiring dragon in the world cannot keep altogether out of the public view, and he’s bored to death anyway and wants to go into Society. When the villagers meet him they are frightened, but rather proud as well—it is a great distinction to have a dragon of your own. Still, all are agreed that this sort of thing can’t be allowed to go on. When grave, gentle St. George appears to free them from their foe, the village gears up for a jolly fight. Better get it over with, so everyone can go on with the sonnets and dinner parties.
