FREE Guided Reading Lesson Plans... Shiloh

Thursday, March 19, 2015
Shiloh... have you ever read this book in your upper elementary classroom?  I have never had a pet dog, (and with my allergies, I probably never will have one), but I absolutely love this book!  I've read it with multiple 4th and 5th grade groups, and I can attest that students generally love this book, too!  I enjoy reading this book with students for two main reasons. First, it is rewarding to see them get emotionally attached to the main character, Marty, and his dog, Shiloh.  Second, this book is part of a trilogy.  When we finish the book, I immediately show students the sequel, Shiloh Season, and the conclusion, Saving Shiloh, and students start begging to get to be the first person to read them (always a rewarding moment as a teacher!!)

Occasionally, I upload guided reading lesson plans I used during my tenure as an upper elementary reading teacher to my blog.  Today is another one of those days!  These plans aren't fancy- they are simply real-teaching Word-document lesson plans that I wrote back before I knew TeachersPayTeachers existed!  They will likely need to be tweaked to meet the needs of your students and your school district's expectations, but they hopefully will at least give you a starting point in terms of questions and vocabulary words to highlight for each chapter!  Feel free to download them if you can use them!

According to the Scholastic website, Shiloh is a Level R book with a Lexile Level of 890.  As you can see from the cover, it is a Newbery award winner (1992). (Amazon affiliate link follows.)
