Description

ELD/ESL and Language Arts classrooms alike face a similar problem with English Language Learners, especially newcomers to the United States: how to scaffold lessons for and teach an entire novel in a language students can't quite understand.

Try these no prep three-page worksheets for each chapter in the first book (A Mouse is Born) of The Tale of Despereaux. A great guided reading scaffold for getting ML students started with text-dependent questions and translation activities with repeated questions about word and letter order (unscrambling sentences and words).

These 45 pages of worksheets can be completed daily in a classroom moving at a more accelerated pace or, as in my case, weekly-biweekly, depending on comprehension levels and available time. In that case, this could be part of a semester-long or year-long study of The Tale of Despereaux.

TEXT NEEDED: The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

PRACTICE WITH: Language acquisition, answering text-dependent questions, phonics, practicing word order, sentence structure.
