This is a 15 page workbook to accompany the story "Akiak - A Tale from the Iditarod" by Robert J. Blake. Skills covered include: author's purpose, punctuation and quotation marks, multiple meaning words/using a thesaurus, character analysis, significance of main events, combining sentences, compound sentences, fact/opinion, structural pattern, compare/conrast, synonyms/antonyms, making connections, reference materials, possessives, spelling/language conventions, writing skills, figurative language, vocabulary, identifying narrator, genre, contractions, suffixes, alternate endings, making predictions, making inferences/drawing conclusions, summarizing, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, verbs and adverbs, Latin roots, and cause and effect. This workbook is an invaluable tool in covering state standards and helping 4th grade students with comprehension and numerous language arts skills. The page numbers referenced in this workbook correspond to the story in the Houghton Mifflin® Anthology "Traditions" from their California Reading program. If you are using another version of "Akiak", this will still be useful to you, but you may have to modify a few things. If you like this product, stay tuned for more workbooks for all of the 4th grade stories! Also check out my activity sheets for the stories in the Reader's Library books. Tell your 2nd and 3rd grade teacher friends that I also have workbooks listed for all 2nd and 3rd grade stories in the "Adventures","Delights","Rewards", and "Horizons" anthology books!

These packets are incredible! I use these in place of the HM workbook! I love the consistency from story to story. The students know exactly what to expect and can focus on the content being presented!!

This gave me great ideas for activities to use as seatwork. I was a little confused by the set up of the packet itself, but I just modified it to suit my needs. Thank you!

Hi, I love that you cover so many of the skills that are needed by the students. My fellow teachers and I would purchase every one but we are finding we really need the answer keys. You do have these? We are disagreeing on what the answers might be and if we are the children certainly would be. We would like to see what the ideas were that you were thinking when you wrote these. It also suprised us that you never taught 4th grade yet wrote these all. They do seem very difficult. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks

Thank you for your question! I'm so sorry but I do not have answer keys for these workbooks. I don't make answer keys because for many of the questions, answers may vary. Also, having never taught 4th grade, I wouldn't want to steer someone the wrong way if they teach a concept differently than I would expect it to be taught...does that make sense? I collaborated with 2 4th grade teachers and used the 4th grade CST released test questions as I wrote these, which is how I learned what concepts would need to be covered. I have the same workbooks for my own grade (2nd) and I don't even have answer keys for them because I never grade the workbooks....I have the students work on them individually, then we go over answers together or we just do them together sometimes. Quite often, we do come across answers that are questionable which opens up great discussions that would not be possible if there was an answer key. It also offers a great way to prepare students for tests where there seem to be two possible answers....we are then able to discuss what to do in these situations and how different publishers have different views on correct answers sometimes so we have to be prepared and have strategies ready for these situations. If I had the time, I would make answer keys for the sections that have black and white answers, but I just returned to work full time and with 3 kids of my own my time is pretty limited. I have just always figured that purchasing teachers would use them as they see fit, and make an answer key if they felt it was necessary. I'm so sorry that I can't help you more, I hope you might find them useful even without an answer key. If you have any specific questions about what I was thinking on a certain question or section, please feel free to email me at csuribe21@yahoo.com and I will be more than happy to share my ideas with you! Thanks for your interest in my products. :)
