This one-year subscription gives you access to all fiction and nonfiction teacher materials for Junior Great Books® Grade 5 through the new and improved Junior Great Books Digital Classroom.

The Junior Great Books Series 5, Book One and Two Teacher’s Editions feature:

  • A unit overview for each story with important planning details and a big-picture snapshot of the unit
  • A unit guide that walks you through each day’s lesson
  • Annotated reading selections with notes, icons, and highlights corresponding to activity instruction

The Junior Great Books Nonfiction Inquiry 5 Teacher's Guide includes:

  • Step-by-step instructions for each activity with point-of-need teacher support
  • Unit overviews with activities and options for differentiation and face-to-face learning
  • Student learning spectrums for each activity to help with formative assessment
  • Connections to concepts in Junior Great Books literature so that students can meaningfully compare texts across genres and curricular areas 

There are teacher’s companions for Junior Great Books Series 5 Fiction and Junior Great Books Nonfiction Inquiry 5. These include comprehensive teacher resources and explicit instructions to support Shared Inquiry for each of the selections featured throughout grade 5. In addition, there is a Teacher Resources and Handouts book with student activity handouts and additional assessments, reflections, and comprehension tests for Junior Great Books Nonfiction Inquiry 5.

In Junior Great Books Digital Classroom, teachers can: 

  • Receive notes submitted by students, enabling them to track questions students pose as they read. This private communication enables one-on-one support and helps ensure comprehension of the text.
  • Play professionally recorded audio of the selections (fiction series only)
  • See glossary definitions, which appear alongside the text, of potentially unfamiliar words 
  • View student analytics on student progress and time spent within the platform 
  • Work with both digital texts and print books seamlessly because both formats match page-by-page

Note: Teacher-resource pages and student handouts, including student activity pages, comprehension tests, reflection forms, and discussion planners, may be printed.
