Introducing an exciting novel study based on Ghost by Jason Reynolds!
Running. That’s all Ghost (real name Castle Cranshaw) has ever known. But Ghost has been running for the wrong reasons—it all started with running away from his father, who, when Ghost was a very little boy, chased him and his mother through their apartment, then down the street, with a loaded gun, aiming to kill. Since then, Ghost has been the one causing problems—and running away from them—until he meets Coach, an ex-Olympic Medalist who sees something in Ghost: crazy natural talent. If Ghost can stay on track, literally and figuratively, he could be the best sprinter in the city. Can Ghost harness his raw talent for speed, or will his past finally catch up to him?
Why We ❤️ Novel Studies:
Our novel studies are printable companion workbooks to popular novels that you can purchase in stores or borrow at your local library. We love them because they promote critical thinking, build vocabulary, and help students develop important language arts skills while reading an amazing book!
Our novel studies aren’t like textbooks, and that’s on purpose.
Instead, they were developed by a certified teacher and created to:
Highlight diverse and inclusive books written by Black and other authors of color.
Provide fun and educational activities that complement the book and deepen understanding of the story.
Develop critical thinking skills by pushing students to analyze themes and issues presented in the book.
Spark important discussions and allow students to express their perspectives.
Strengthen writing skills through extensive practice.
Provide multimedia enrichment to engage students and extend learning.
Plus, our novel studies are easy-to-use (no additional prep required!), digital resources that can be printed at home 📚.
They can be used as an educational supplement or combined with our other novel studies to create a complete Language Arts curriculum!
We also give 25% of each purchase to mutual aid 🫶🏾.
