Grade Level: 5-8 Interest Level: 4-12 This is a teaching guide, not a full version of the book. An in-depth teaching guide for a Newbery Award-winning and popular book. This teacher guide helps students understand Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book by grouping by strands: Community Strand and Journey Strand, providing a reference to focus student attention. Each chapter analysis includes Journal and Discussion Topics, Vocabulary, and Chapter Summaries. Other features of the guide include Strategy Pages, Testing, and the Writer’s Forum, along with an answer key. 112 pages. The Discovering Literature Series is designed to develop a student’s appreciation for good literature and to improve reading comprehension. While many skills reinforce a student’s ability to comprehend what he or she reads (sequencing, cause and effect, finding details, using context clues), two skills are vital. They are: discerning main ideas and summarizing the text. Students who can master these two essential skills develop into sophisticated readers. Each chapter analysis is organized into three basic elements: Student Directives, Chapter Vocabulary, and Chapter Summary. The Student Directives contain the main ideas in each chapter. They provide the students, working individually or in groups, with a framework for developing their summaries. Student Directives can also be used as group discussions. The Chapter Vocabulary includes definitions of keywords from each chapter. To save time, students need only to copy, not look up, definitions. A Chapter Summary for each chapter is included for teacher use and knowledge. Throughout the guide Skill Pages and Tests are provided for to build an increased understanding of the book and to review student’s knowledge.

These 50 nonfiction stories and activities are a sure-fire way to improve fluency and comprehension skills!

Look back at the paragraph to respond to the follow-up exercises. 3. Complete the cloze reading activity involving the paragraph. 4.
