Three Book Study Unit - Foundation to Year 2

Build close reading, discussion and narrative-writing skills with this differentiated book study of Three. Designed for Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2, the unit combines explicit teaching slides with collaborative games, printable worksheets, assessment, answers and a marking rubric.

Students identify character traits and change, sequence events, explain problems and solutions, infer a theme, use sensory language and plan an original narrative. Differentiated pages support mixed-level classrooms and allow teachers to match each task to student readiness.
