Description

Our Gumdigger Novel Study resource is a comprehension, discussion, and activity guide to accompany the novel Gumdigger by Kath Beattie. This is an excellent book for upper primary and intermediate because of its themes of resilience, perseverance, and the historical nature of the text.
 
The Gumdigger Novel Study has been split up into sections for the purposes of this resource. Each section varies in size due to the number of pages and the nature of the content. Some sections call for more reflection and discussion than others.
 
For each section of the novel study, there are:
  • Reading comprehension questions,
  • Discussion questions for oral language development in the classroom, designed to be used with pairs or small groups of students
  • Weblinks and QR codes for students to find out more about the content discussed
  • Six to eight creative activity choices (including digital and non-digital options) 
Please note: To use this resource, you will need at least one copy of the novel, Gumdigger.

This resource, and our full reading resource range, is also available in our Top Teaching Tasks Reading Membership. Find out more here.
