The 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones Text Messaging Reading Comprehension Activity
Common Core Reading Standards Met: 2,3,5,6
This is a 5-page reading comprehension activity that will work with any novel but is set up for the novel 39 Clues: Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan. This activity will have your students send "text" messages to the author, a character in the story, a friend about a favorite part, and a teacher about what he/she liked about the story. I have found this to be a very enjoyable activity that encourages comprehension of the story.
Included in the packet is a template cell phone for each activity, along with over 30 text abbreviations for the students to use (but we are sure that your students know many, many more!).
