Novel Studies

Novel Study Selection

Our novel studies promote deep engagement with literature through a wide range of activities. Delivered as PDF downloads, each resource is organized by chapter (or section) and includes pre-reading prompts, vocabulary, comprehension questions, and extension tasks. Key literary concepts—such as setting, literary devices, character analysis, and conflict—are emphasized. Materials also feature research projects, creative writing, grammar practice, cloze activities, and interactive puzzles like crosswords and word searches. Visual tools such as storyboards and sequence charts enhance understanding. A complete teacher answer key is also included. Click on the preview or purchase buttons below to learn more.
