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 160-page unit on the novel Frindle is designed for students with disabilities and special learning needs.

I was always reading a novel to my students, regardless of their learning level. Learning to sit while someone is talking is an invaluable skill worth teaching.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOVEL UNIT IS FOR STUDENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES AND ARE EITHER EMERGING OR NON-READERS AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE NOVEL OR AN ADAPTED VERSION.

This unit has various activities to accompany Andrew Clements’s book, Lunch Money.

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

There are many opportunities for students to engage with repeated information on what happens when Greg and Maura finally decide to team up and launch their comic book business.

Finally, many of the activities include multiple versions, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation. There is one more activity (32 different activities!!) for each chapter as your students stay engaged while you read this novel aloud.

***This unit has comprehension questions. There are five questions for each chapter, each with 3 picture choices. An answer key is included.

There are many benefits to reading aloud to your students. You will teach them an invaluable skill: sitting 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.
