Each of the sixty reproducible classroom-ready activities has general guidelines that describe the purposes for the project, how to use it, evaluation points, and variations that increase student participation and motivation, and a variety of assessment activities. Designed around the new IRA/NCTE Standards, (reading, writing, representing, viewing, speaking, and listening) these stimulating activities applicable to a variety of novels create opportunities for students to develop their skills as readers, writers, and speakers. Three sections center on reading and writing activity projects (e.g., essays, news stories, letters), visual display projects (e.g., charts, posters, bookmarks), and speaking and listening activities.

I found this book extremely helpful! I am a college student that has been doing some teaching for the past few semesters. I have used numerous books that would help plan lessons to be taught. This book was the most helpful and interesting. It offers may fun and interesting comprehension activities that are easily taught to many different ages of students. The strategies in this book can be used when teaching a book or story that the students may be reading. "What A Novel Idea" is an excellent resource that I would recommend to any teacher that is looking for new and fun activities to help monitor their students' comprehension of a text.
