Novel Questions & Answers 
Our Novel Resources make it easy to do oral conferences with students by asking the student what book they have read and asking them questions from the books included in our list.  These books are easy to use for literature circles, read alouds, and whole class novel studies. For some titles, you might need to scroll through chapter summaries before you find test questions at the end.  

To keep the questions and answers out of the hands of students, you need the password to access them. Membership in PITA is required to access the password protected area of our website. The password is provided to teachers when they become a member of myPITA  conference or by joining online via the BCTF.  If you are a member and have forgotten your password, then contact [email protected].
