GROUND ZERO

Welcome to Our fifth grade guided reading instruction for Alan Gratz's novel ground zero. This website was designed as a tool for teachers to assist them in guiding students through a historical fiction novel study that is supported by fifth grade content, standards, and learning objectives. 

this website includes an overview of the novel, a four-week pacing guide, mini-lessons, vocabulary words and activities, additional videos and articles to support the text, and other book suggestions for students and teachers alike!
