What’s Included
Detailed first-read lesson plan: A step-by-step instructional guide designed to introduce the text, activate background knowledge, establish a purpose for reading, and support meaningful whole-class discussion.
Colorful anchor chart: An engaging visual reference that highlights essential ideas and gives students a helpful tool to revisit during reading, discussion, and written work.

Olivia’s perspective activities: Focused practice helps students examine events through Olivia’s point of view, identify details that reveal her perspective, and explain how her thoughts and experiences shape the story.
Text-dependent comprehension practice: Supporting activities encourage students to return to the text, identify important details, discuss their thinking, and demonstrate understanding of key events and ideas.
Extended-response questions: Thought-provoking writing prompts give students opportunities to organize their ideas, cite relevant text evidence, and develop complete written responses.
End-of-book assessment: A ready-to-use test checks students’ comprehension of the text, important details, vocabulary, and central ideas after instruction is complete.
Additional supporting activities: Flexible practice pages provide extra opportunities for reinforcement, review, independent work, small-group instruction, literacy centers, homework, or early-finisher practice.
