Description

Novel-Ties Study Guide for the novel Amos Fortune Free Man by Elizabeth Yates assures a parent that their student is engaging with the story in a convenient workbook format. This guide is best suited for a student in the middle grades, approximately from 4th to 8th.

Some children in this age group will be just fine working independently. Parents can use the discussion questions to check comprehension and interact with their student as they go. Other students will benefit from a parent walking them through the study guide as they effectively learn how to analyze literature. Your child may fall anywhere in between, and you can adjust as needed, showing the versatility that comes with using a literature guide in your ELA studies.

We also offer a set that includes the guide and novel.

Pages are reproducible for a single classroom or family. ~Sara
