5th Grade English Language Arts Unit Plans

This is the last novel study purchase you’ll ever need to make!  Plus each of these novel studies can be prepped in minutes instead of all weekend. You’ll be ready to engage your students in reading each of these 50+ books using reading comprehension questions that spark deep thinking. 

Each novel study includes vocabulary and reading comprehension questions by chapter. The activities in each novel study also include the opportunity to practice reading strategies, reading comprehension skills, literacy skills, respond to writing prompts, and review language skills. 

The flexible format makes it a breeze to assign reading comprehension skills to match the needs of your students, the literacy concepts most in need of reinforcing, or even the reading and writing skills demanded by the curriculum calendar.
