This is a collection of three worksheets to accompany Zaner-Bloser's Read for Real (Level F), Units 1, 2, and 3. The worksheets use the vocabulary words from the units in a variety of ways—including matching, sorting, illustrating, explaining, and writing. The writing assignments are connected to the units in the text. I used these with my summer school classes for additional practice with the vocabulary words.

Over the last 13 years, I have taught 7th grade through junior college, so the lesson plans that I share here could come from any of those grade levels. I am currently teaching 10th grade reading and world literature and 11th grade reading and American literature. I've been teaching reading for seven years, so most of my lessons were designed with my reluctant readers in mind. Recently I taught an honors level 9th grade class along with my remedial classes; I was surprised by how much my honors students learned when I used some of the same lessons (vocabulary, especially) that I was using with my remedial students. I think all of our students benefit if we slow down and emphasize quality over quantity.
