The Novel-Ties Study Guide Set includes the novel Frindle by Andrew Clements and the consumable study guide. The guide 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. Some learners will work independently, and others will need some guidance as they learn to analyze literature. Parents can easily use the discussion questions provided to check comprehension and interact with their student. Pages are reproducible for a single classroom or family. ~Sara
