Suppose the Wolf Were an Octopus?

I'm still trying to decide on a reading comprehension book for this coming year. Any opinions on this one? Thanks! :001_smile:

Anyone? :lurk5:

Me! Me!

 

I like this book a lot. It even made me think and I got out Bruno Bettleheim's fairy analysis and had fun just thinking about stuff.

 

It doesn't cost much. I think it's worth a try. Go for it. The info on Bloom's taxonomy is fascinating.

 

I'd only use it with a student who likes to talk about books and answer questions.

 

My ds liked it, as long as I didn't go overboard.

 

I want to use it with dd, but I'll have to see how things go with little Miss Reticent.

This book has discussion questions to use after reading the books. It doesn't provide any instruction or answers to the discussion questions. There are no literary terms or vocabulary or questions for each chapter - things in a standard "literature guide." It is great for socratic discussion if that is your intent.
