Ray's Violet is a great chapter book for classroom reading for fourth or fifth grades and advanced third graders.  There are ten fairly short chapters that are great for a one or two week unit.  It includes

• some science (a study of lightning bugs)
• some history (the early telegraph and Morse Code; life in the 1980s)
• some magic and suspense for fun (Violet can make things happen)
• childhood friendship
• an uplifting (but somewhat sad) ending
• positive life lessons

FREE Materials include:

• Elements of a Story Worksheet
• Guided Reading Questions for each chapter of Ray's Violet
• Morse Code Alphabet and Morse Code Puzzle Worksheet
