Who Was King Tut? by Roberta Edwards CCSS Reading Comprehension Questions/Vocab
As I studied ancient Egypt with my 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, I must admit, it was very difficult to come up with material to supplement this unit. The things I found were either too mature or too dry. This book is a fantastic resource for a unit on King Tut or ancient Egypt, so I just had to make a study guide. Included in this study guide are:* Vocabulary for each chapter without the definitions (to allow students to define the words)* Questions for each chapter (both literal and inferential)*

Do you have students get together to talk about a book, only to have them stare at each other or talk about anything but the book? These book marks will provide students with support to help them ask other people questions. We usually ask students to talk about fiction but they need to be discussing nonfiction to encourage each other to read nonfiction and deepening their knowledge of different topics. Enjoy!
