The Christmas Pig Novel Study for Special Education by JK Rowling

The Christmas Pig by J.K. Rowling is the focus of this novel unit 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 320 page unit on the novel The Christmas Pig is designed for students who have significant disabilities and special learning needs.

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 AND 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 various activities to accompany Rowling’s book, The Christmas Pig. 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 in repeated information on the story. This repetition encourages deeper engagement in the book.

Finally, many of the activities in The Christmas Pig novel study include more than one version, differentiation suggestions, and presentation options. There is 1 activity (59 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 5 multiple choice questions for every 2 chapters. Each question has 3 picture choices for answers. There is an answer key included.

See preview for the table of contents and 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.
