How to Use This Pack

Pages 1 to 4 are four books about Pip and Moss, each with two questions. Page 5 compares the four books, and page 6 is a chart to compare any three books in a series.

In the Classroom

Read one book a day, then do page 5 on the fifth day. Page 6 works with any series the class knows, such as a chapter book series in the classroom library.

At Home

If your child reads a book series, ask how the newest book is like the first one and how it is different.

Tips for Success

  • A series has the same characters in book after book
  • Look for what stays the same: characters, setting
  • Look for what changes: the problem, who helps whom
  • A theme can come back in more than one book
