Heidi, Teacher Guide

Children who are asked to read slightly above their comfort level will develop into superior readers. Reading requires an active, discriminating mind that is challenged to think, compare, and contrast. Our literature study guides train students to become active readers. They focus on vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. Heidi by Johanna Spyri is the classic story of an orphan girl who loves to live with her grandfather in the mountains but one day finds herself taken to the big city by her aunt. Can she find her way back to where she belongs? The vocabulary in the study guide is taken from Eileen Hall's translation published by Puffin in 2009.
