Fantastic Mr Fox Novel Study/Guided Reading

Here is a Novel Study/Guided Reading unit on ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’.

I used this with my Year 3 class and we had 30 minute Novel Study sessions - I would read the chapter(s) and they each had a copy to follow along with and then we would discuss the chapter, look at the questions and then they would answer them in their books. I encouraged children to focus on quality over quantity as can be seen with some of the messages in the PPTs.

This sequence worked really well with my class and they definitley got the most out of their writing. Most PPTs have an example answer as well as answers to discuss at the end of the sessions. The way I organise the questions is by ‘good’, ‘amazing’ and ‘awesome’ - a bit like the chilly challenge where the questions get harder and move from retrieval to inference etc.

Hope this helps :)
