HUGE Resource Bundle - Wandi - Favel Parrett - Student Workbook - Task Cards

This is a 70+ page resource bundle based on the iconic Australian book “Wandi” by Favel Parrett.

Wandi is a hybrid informative/imaginative text which tells the amazing story of Wandi, the alpine dingo who literally fell from the sky. He lives in a real-life dingo sanctuary and proved to everyone that alpine dingoes exist and need our protection.

This book was selected to be a mentor text to teach the Stage Two NESA Unit (3): Argument and Authority. The resources are designed both to provoke deep thinking about the text, but also to be completely independent. The only prep you need to do is printing or uploading to google classroom or a similar platform.

This bundle of resources consists of:

• a chapter-by-chapter comprehension guide. These guides have four pages of comprehension questions, focusing on a range of skills , such as literal and inferential understanding, text-to-self connections, author purpose, cause and effect and much much more. All up, this is 56 pages of independent comprehension work.

• a set of ten full-colour literacy centre task cards based on the text. These include a range of Creative and Practical Arts integrated tasks, as well as informative, imaginative and persuasive writing prompts.

• all associated printables linked to the task cards, which can be used for a range of literature. These are a set of high-interest, high-choice worksheets.

• a vocabulary booster which can be used in isolation or together with the other resources. This resource used words from the book, puts them in context and asks students to decode meaning using contextual clues, then apply the words in sentences of their own.

When used in conjunction with the book, this is weeks of learning, covering reading, writing and speaking and listening.

This book would be suitable for a whole class read-aloud, or as a reading group text for Stage Two students.

I have many other literature-based resources in my store (most of them Australian) so feel free to check them out.

Happy reading!
