Novel Questions & Answers 

Our Novel Resources make it easy to do oral conferences with students by asking the student what book they have read and asking them questions from the books included in our list.  These books are easy to use for literature circles, read-alouds, and whole class novel studies. For some titles, you might need to scroll through chapter summaries before you find test questions at the end.  

To keep the questions and answers out of the hands of students, you need the password to access them. Membership in PITA is required to access the password protected area of our website. The password is provided to teachers when they become a member of PITA by attending a workshop or conference or by joining online.  If you are a member and have forgotten your password, then contact our Membership Chair. If you are not a member, you can join through the BCTF.

For those members visiting our new website for the first time, please note that the password to our Novel Resources remains the same.
