Finders Keepers - Emily Rodda - Stage 2/3 Mega Novel Study Literature Circles

This is a 80±page novel study on the iconic Australian book “Finders Keepers” by Emily Rodda. This book won the Book of the Year title for Younger Readers by the Children’s Book Council of Australia.

Finders Keepers tells the story of Patrick, an ordinary boy who finds himself in an extraordinary world when he agrees to play the game Finders Keepers. This is an exciting, descriptive, thrilling book for Stage Two and Three students.

This resource consists of a chapter-by-chapter comprehension guide. The questions cover a range of comprehension skills, from literal to inferential, plus author purpose, comparing and contrasting, summarising, predicting and much more. A comprehensive answer guide is also provided.

Each section also has a creative response, designed to be high-interest, independent and engaging. These are often linked to the Creative and Practical Arts.

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

There is a bank of ten Literacy Circle tasks, designed to be printed and laminated for future use. These involve a high degree of student choice, so as to be independent. All associated printables are also included.

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

Happy reading!
