Brian's Return is a book by Gary Paulsen. This book is at a 5.5 reading level, based off the Accelerated Reader scale. This product took me weeks to finish. Included in this document are 54 pages: 3 pages for each chapter. Now, the chapters themselves are fairly short, so I would suggest you choose one or two pages to use per chapter. Each chapter includes: 1 page of comprehension questions, 1 page of vocabulary work (presented in several different ways), and 1 page with a puzzle, cocurricular objective (language elements, writing, etc) or cross-curricular objective (math, art, social studies, music, etc). Also included: 22-page teacher's key! Each comprehension question includes the page number where the answer can be found. My students thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am excited to share this with you and hope you will notify me if you find any mistakes so that I may fix them. I appreciate your input! Have a wonderful week! ~ Wife Teacher Mom

My Life as a Book is by Janet Tashjian with cartoons by Jake Tashjian. This book is at a 5.3 reading level, based off the Accelerated Reader scale. This product took three weeks to complete. Included in this document are 42 pages. Pages 1 & 2 are the title page and the Table of Contents. Each section includes: 2 pages of comprehension questions, 2 pages of vocabulary work (presented in several different ways), and 1 page that is cross or co-curricular. Total content pages: 28. Teacher's key: 8 pages. Of ALL the books we have read this year, this has been my students' favorite! Looking at the cover, you may think there isn't much content in this book. However, there is LOTS of content... it is up to you, the teacher, to pull the content and life lessons to be learned that are hidden throughout the book. Derek is a boy that is relatable to any student in the 4th, 5th, or even 6th grade. I am excited to share this with you and hope you will notify me if you find any mistakes so that I may fix them. I appreciate your input! Have a wonderful week! Susanna Yust
