Have you ever wanted to read a novel to your special education students but thought there is no way they will sit and listen? Persevere; it is worth it!!

This novel study of James and the Giant Peach is designed for students who have disabilities and special learning needs. I was always reading a novel to my students, regardless of their learning level.

⭐ YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN COPY OF THE BOOK.⭐

This unit has print and digital activities accompanying Roald Dahl’s book, James and the Giant Peach.

The materials were designed to allow students at multiple levels of learning to access and engage with lessons learned from listening to this novel.

There are many opportunities for students to engage with repeated information on the adventures of the boy James and his unusual friends. This repetition encourages deeper engagement with the book.

Finally, many of the James and the Giant Peach activities include multiple versions, suggestions for differentiation, and presentation options. There is an activity (41 activities!!) to go with each chapter as your students stay engaged while you read this novel aloud.

***There are 3 multiple-choice questions for each chapter. The answer key is included.

There are so many benefits to reading out loud to your students. You will teach them an invaluable skill of learning to sit still while someone else is talking. Your parents will also LOVE you for not only teaching them this skill of sitting but also for exposing them to age-appropriate material. Plus, you never know which students you will touch with each story you read.
