ELA Content Standards
Key Ideas and Details- Grade 3
1.) Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
How it Connects: After reading the story, the class can have a group discussion where they talk about the plot and ask questions. The teacher can show them how to refer back to the text and help them answer the questions they had.
Craft and Structure- Grade 2
5.) Know and use various text features (eg., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently.
How it Connects: Students will be able to look over the bolded words in the text, and also look at the titles of each chapter.

Classroom Usage
Independent Reading: Read silently to themselves, if it is too complex for them to read to themselves they could highlight key words they know, or that they have questions about.
Small Groups: Discuss how the book is set up and the traits of the characters.
Centers: The teacher can read the class a couple chapters. After the teacher is done reading she can split the class up into four groups (more or less depending on the class size) and have each group write a list of the characters and their traits.
Differentiation
This story would be good for ELL because it is more of a complex text. It will give them a chance to see how chapter books are set up, and learn about the chapter titles, bolded words, and help with their comprehension.
