300 Junior Novel Anticipation Guides (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781591584223)

The author has created reproducible anticipation guides to 300 popular junior novels ranging from classics like Ben and Me and Cricket in Times Square to the award winner, Kira, Kira. The book consists of 300 reproducible sets of open ended values questions to pique the interest of readers. Librarians and teachers will use these anticipation guides to spark interest in reading or as comprehension starters, tapping into prior knowledge and starting the process of understanding. The guides are also valuable for closure and comparative discussions with literature circles. In contrast to the low level knowledge recall questions used by some electronic reading programs, these questions are higher order thinking questions that will encourage critical and divergent thinking. Grades 4-8.
