Studying Themes

When you sign up, you will receive one free 5th grade lesson on themes—what they are and how to find them in stories. Since books range in reading levels, you may use the same books in this lesson for your 4th grader. For your 3rd grader, I recommend the following books:

Bucket Filling from A to Z: The Key to Being Happy
By McCloud, Carol, Butzke, Caryn
 
Fox
By Wild, Margaret
