WHY TEACHERS GRAB IT
BUILT TO MAKE NOVEL UNITS FEEL DOABLE.
Any novel, any grade
A flexible framework that works for whatever book your class is reading — 2nd grade read-alouds through 8th grade lit circles.
Plan in an afternoon
Map your pacing, lessons, and assessments once. No more reinventing the wheel every time you teach a new title.
Purposeful design
Discussion, vocabulary, and skill focus are part of every chapter — not bolted on at the end as an afterthought.
A READING CALENDAR THAT FITS YOU
PACE THE BOOK AROUND YOUR REAL SCHEDULE
Lay the whole novel out across the days you actually have — with room for the weeks that never go as planned.
- Chapter-by-chapter pacing map you can adjust in minutes
- Flexible day counts for block, daily, or read-aloud schedules
- Built-in catch-up days so a snow day doesn’t derail the unit
CHAPTER PLANNING PAGES
EVERYTHING FOR ONE CHAPTER ON ONE PAGE.
Walk into each lesson knowing exactly what you’re asking and what you’re teaching — no sticky notes, no scrambling.
- Comprehension & discussion prompts for every section
- A simple vocabulary routine that actually sticks
- A clear skill focus so each chapter does real work
