Meet the minds behind the monsters!
Bring literature to life with this engaging bundle of four comprehension resources, each exploring iconic authors who wrote about fear, imagination, and the unknown. From Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to Edgar Allan Poe’s eerie verse, students are introduced to the people and ideas behind some of the world’s most memorable stories.
Each pack features three reading levels: Starter, Standard, and Stretch. These build progression in key reading skills, from early strategies like retrieval and sequencing to deeper thinking such as inference, viewpoint, and author’s intent, all through clear, age-appropriate texts.
Across the bundle, students will explore who these writers were, what they wrote, what inspired their ideas, why their work was significant, and how their legacy continues today.
Use the packs individually or combine them as a full unit to support cross-text comparison, genre exploration, and curriculum-aligned skill-building, while uncovering the powerful link between life experience and literary imagination.
Included resources:
• Famous Writers of Fear (three-author overview)
