Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief Novel Study Print & Digital Special Ed

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is the focus of this novel study for students with autism and special learning needs. It includes activities and chapter questions in print and digital formats and is a great introduction to mythology.

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

This novel study of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is designed for special education students. I was always reading a novel to my students, regardless of their learning level.

The lesson of learning to sit while someone is talking is an invaluable skill that is worthwhile teaching.

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

⭐ YOU WILL NEED YOUR OWN COPY OF THE BOOK.

This unit has print and digital activities to accompany Rick Riordan’s book, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.

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

There are many opportunities for students to engage with repeated information as they follow Percy as he goes on a quest to prevent a war that could end the world. This repetition encourages deeper engagement in the book.

Finally, many of the activities include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation. There are 1 or more activities (40 activities!!) to go with each chapter as your students stay engaged while you read this novel aloud.

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

***This unit also includes 8 character trading cards that students can put together that review the main Greek gods and monsters in this book.***

This unit has 5 multiple-choice comprehension questions for each chapter. Each question has 3 picture answer choices. An answer key is included.

See preview for a detailed look at what 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.
