Little Women by Louisa May Alcott is the focus of this novel study for students with autism and special learning needs. 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 on Little Women 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.

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOVEL STUDY DOES NOT INCLUDE THE NOVEL.  YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN COPY OF THE NOVEL TO READ ALOUD.  I USED THE UNABRIDGED VERSION, BUT THE ACTIVITIES WILL WORK WITH ANY ADAPTED VERSION YOU MAY HAVE. (see suggestions below)

 

This unit has 53 activities to accompany the novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. The activities were designed to allow students with multiple levels of learning to access and engage in lessons learned through listening to this novel read aloud. There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the story. This repetition encourages deeper engagement in the book.

 

Finally, many of the activities in the Little Women novel study include more than one version, differentiation suggestions, and presentation options. There are 1-2 activities (53 different activities!!) to go with each chapter as your students stay engaged while you read the novel aloud.

 

There are 2 complete files to go with this unit. One is in color and one is in BW.

 

***There are also comprehension questions included in this unit. There are 5 multiple choice questions for each chapter with 3 picture answer choices.

 

________________________________________________________________

This novel unit was put together using the unabridged version of the book. The ISBN is 978-0-14-240876-6. My copy was 777 pages. I realize that it is not likely you will read this version aloud to your students and may use an adapted version. Here is what you can do.

 

  • There are 53 activities included in this novel study. You should have no problem finding an activity that will align with the chapter you have read aloud from your adapted version. Remember, the activities are not comprehension based but are more extensions of something that happened or was mentioned in that chapter. Therefore, they will work with other versions of the book.

 

  • The comprehension questions ARE chapter based and will NOT correspond to the version you are using. I keep the questions very basic and related to specific things that happen in that chapter. Therefore, you likely will not be able to use the chapter questions for an adapted version.

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.

 

As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have. Remember, you will gain credit toward future purchases on tpt as you leave more and more feedback!!

 

I am currently developing more units, and any feedback I get helps me make improvements in the future.
