Reading Workshop

Series Book Club Unit

Essential Questions:

How do readers figure out how a series goes, noticing patterns and predicting what will happen?
How do readers grow smart ideas across different series?
What do readers need to pay attention to so they are not surprised throughout their series book?
How does reading a series book lead us into learning about a topic?

Unit Overview
This unit is designed to support the reading of series books. Student’s comprehension is supported when they encounter familiar characters and places, book after book, throughout a series. Scaffolded learning is inherent in the reading of series books and is an alignment with the Common Core Standards. Teaching students to think across books is also good practice to set them up for working longer, multi-chapter novels. It also builds young reader’s stamina. Students will draw on previously learned strategies, and develop new ones, to integrate what they know about a character (or characters) across a series. Children will use this information to understand, predict, and critique a story.
