The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan: Comprehension Book Packet with Answer Keys, Assessments & 2 Reader's Theatre Scripts
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson has dyslexia, ADHD, and a record of getting expelled.
Then he accidentally vaporizes his pre-algebra teacher and learns the truth: he is the son of a Greek god. In Rick Riordan’s hilarious, action-packed fantasy (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1), Percy and his friends race across the country on a quest to stop a war of the gods by finding Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt.

Hi, I’m Kim! I’m an educator with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Elementary Education and more than 30 years of classroom experience.
I started The Literature Lady because I wanted to make reading come alive for students—and make lesson planning a lot easier for teachers. I create resources that were way too time-consuming to create while teaching full-time, so that now you don’t have to! My passion is creating engaging, low-prep resources, such as novel studies, Word Noodle vocabulary games, and reader’s theatre scripts, that help kids fall in love with books while building real skills.
When I’m not writing or designing new lessons, you’ll find me teaching right here on the TeacherStore.io community platform! The Young Scholar Academy is an online small group learning community that teaches homeschool students in grades 1-8. We teach core classes, electives, one-on-one tutoring, and so much more! As Tiffany would say, "Come for the classes, stay for the community!"
I am also a fun of reading, baking, traveling, or hanging out with my husband, our two college-aged sons, and our dogs, Maisie and Sophie.
