Babe the Gallant Pig Novel-Ties Study Guide

Description

The Novel-Ties Study Guide for the novel Babe: The Gallant Pig by Dick King-Smith guides a parent in teaching their child to better understand what they read. At this age, about grades 1-3 or so, tasks will be more conversational. Some students can write their answers, but this is not typically an age group to work independently.

Discuss the questions before reading the assigned passage. Then, read the passage together and go back to the questions. Do you still have the same answers? This process teaches your child how to read with purpose in a way that is interactive and not overwhelming.

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

At this age, completing perhaps 1-2 guides with novels per semester is sufficient. Beginning at about 4th grade, 2-3 per semester is more appropriate since a student can begin to complete work independently.

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

Publisher's Description of Babe the Gallant Pig Novel-Ties Study Guide

The best reproducible study guide to accompany the paperback novel for over 40 years!

Each novel has been selected because of its great appeal to students, its literary quality, and its classroom value. The guides provide questions and activities based on Blooms Taxonomy that will develop improved understanding, appreciation and literary skills. Teachers have used them successfully to develop active readers with whole classes, in reading groups and as enrichment for the gifted.

Category Description for Novel-Ties Study Guides

What? Another set of literature guides? Sometimes, it seems that way even to the staff at Rainbow Resource. What's an educational supply company to do, however, when they encounter an excellent secular series that has an amazing list of titles and provides a quality literature study at all grade levels? To us, it's a bit of a no-brainer.

These are very comprehensive and thorough studies, with just a hint of cross-curricular applications and a good variety of writing activities. I particularly like the fact that they do use graphic organizers – but not so exhaustively that you feel overwhelmed by them. The guides have a common pattern, whether for the young primary grades or for the high school level. Guides include:

  • Synopsis and Background Info
  • Pre-Reading Activities & Discussion Questions
  • Chapter (or passage) coverage including vocabulary, comprehension questions, discussion questions, literary devices, and writing activities
  • Cloze Activity (filling in the blanks of a quote/passage with appropriate words)
  • Post-Reading Activities & Discussion Questions
  • Suggestions for Further Reading

I look for several things in a good literature study and this series has them all. First of all, vocabulary is studied within the context of quality literature and is a valuable part of the study. Secondly, literary analysis starts early and is covered thoroughly. Thirdly, questions go beyond basic comprehension and delve into deeper, thought-provoking issues. Lastly, writing activities are expected and have good variety. This series provides all of these features and does it well. To add to the appeal, the guides have a pick-up-and-go, user-friendly format that doesn't burden you with a lot of teacher-y rigmarole. We have Novel-Ties Study Guide & Book Sets available, which include a Novel-Ties guide with the recommended reading book for that guide. The Guides are reproducible for a classroom and there's a complete answer key. Includes 24 – 35 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
