Novel Unit with Adapted Text to Accompany “OF MICE AND MEN”

Novel Unit and “”Of Mice and Men”” by John Steinbeck in an adapted version with high interest – low level fluency and reading comprehension. Text reading level is grade 2 . There is an additional even shorter version adapted at the first grade reading level. This is a complete novel study for “”Of Mice and Men”” by John Steinbeck. The reading level of the book was adapted to make the novel easier to read and understand. There are also guided listening pages – students read the adapted version, answer questions, complete fluency exercises and then do a guided listening exercise as you read John Steinbeck’s novel aloud. There are also supplementary lessons on theme, symbols, characters and more. This Standards-Aligned resource also has fluency passages, interactive notebook pages, fluency checks, and comprehension for each part of the story to accompany reading “”OMAM.”” This is an engaging story that older lower readers may never experience – but should. I use the high low fluency passages and then read select passages of OMAM we discuss each chapter. This is a stand-alone resource, but also works well to differentiate OMAM when reading it in class. High Interest – Low Readability passages are perfect for whole class, group work, one-on-one and Distance Learning. Why? Because students are able to read the passages on their own and complete quick comprehension assessments. This resource is perfect for reluctant older readers who need reading practice but are put off by text that looks “young” or “babyish.” The passages are for them. Written using research-based techniques – the passages repeat words, scaffold and introduce vocabulary. —- ISBN: 9798854868648
