These amazing sets of literature for my future fifth graders will help my students develop strong reading skills by analyzing the authors’ techniques. They will learn to carefully analyze characters, setting and study the use of figurative language. Students will work in small groups and discuss how the author uses the same characters throughout different novels. How do the characters change and develop? What patterns are present throughout several stories? Author studies have been shown to increase student literature learning outcomes in upper elementary grades, including improving their writing and grammar skills.
