The Twits Novel Study Special Education Roald Dahl Activities and Questions

The Twits by Roald Dahl 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 would sit and listen? Persevere, it is worth it!!

This 70 page unit on the novel The Twits is designed for students who are in special education and have 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 Dahl’s book, The Twits.

The materials were designed to allow students with multiple levels of learning to access and engage in lessons learned through listening to this novel. Students have many opportunities to engage in repeated information on this silly story that only Dahl could tell about a couple who think and do unpleasant deeds.

Finally, many of the activities include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

There are one or more activities (28 different activities!!) to go with each chapter as your students stay engaged while you read this novel aloud.

*****This unit includes comprehension questions. There are 5 questions for every 3 chapters, each with 3 picture answer choices. An answer key is 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.
