Our novel studies cover a wide range popular and classic literature, such as Wonder, The Giver, and The Hunger Games, while our nonfiction book studies cover narrative nonfiction books such as Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl and The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. Each study begins with a pre-reading activity that encourages students to build background knowledge, practice research skills, and make personal connections by exploring key topics and themes related to the book. As students read, guided discussion questions help them analyze character development, plot structure, and central themes. Post-reading response prompts ask students to reflect on the story and connect it to broader ideas and personal experiences. Many novel study sets also include extension activities that promote critical thinking and reinforce literacy skills, such as movie comparisons, fact vs. fiction exercises, and character quote responses.
These activities support a variety of learning styles and provide opportunities for both creative and analytical responses to literature. Education.com’s novel studies offer a comprehensive approach to reading instruction, helping students engage with texts in meaningful ways.
