The Giver Novel Study Print and Digital Activities Special Education Dystopian

The Giver novel study by Lois Lowry is the focus of this novel study for students with autism and special learning needs, with activities and chapter questions in print and digital formats.

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 150 page unit on the novel The Giver 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.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOVEL UNIT IS FOR STUDENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES AND 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 Lowry’s book, The Giver.

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 about Jonas’s struggle as he receives the memories and ultimately the truth about the world he lives in. 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 one or more activities (45 activities!!) to go with each chapter as your students stay engaged while you read this novel aloud.

Comprehension questions accompany this novel unit. There are 5 questions for each chapter with 3 picture answer choices.

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.
