Instructional Ideas

• Have readers fill in their chapter titles as they read, and encourage them to take another look once they finish the book to see if they would change any of the titles
• Work as a class to group the titles into segments of the book, such as the beginning, middle, and end, or different acts

Classroom Considerations

• Consider guiding learners through the process of naming each chapter a little more thoroughly

Pros

• An engaging way to have readers demonstrate their understanding
• Helpful reading strategy for any novel
