Description
Touching Spirit Bear: Vocabulary Study is a twenty-five page resource begins with an alphabetical listing of one hundred eleven vocabulary words taken from the full novel text along with their page number(s).
Next is a series of chapter-by-chapter word lists with definitions that present the targeted vocabulary words in story order and identify their location by page number. Each word list is coupled with companion student worksheets that require interpretive use of a dictionary.
