WHY USE THEMATIC NOVEL SETS?

• To develop comparative thinking skills
• To support readers in learning to make essential text-to-text and text-to-world connections
• To differentiate instruction by offering text choices within a theme study
• To help students go beyond surface understanding of important themes and concepts
• To help struggling readers anticipate what they’re going to find in a text
• To provide a collection of resources for “what to read next”
• To create a community of learners who can share different perspectives on common themes
