This is a Guided Reading of the book, Sticks and Stones by Abby Cooper. There are games, chapter questions, and lessons on Citing Evidence, Context Clues, Theme, Character Development, and Point of View.I used this book at the beginning of a 6th grade Reading class. I think it would also be appropriate for a 5th grade class more towards the end of the year. It is a book about dealing with the difficulties of Middle School.
