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.

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)*
