This differentiated companion guide for The Chocolate Touch by Patrick Skene Catling goes far beyond basic recall to assess students at the level of analysis, application, and thematic understanding. Organized into six sections across three grade bands (K-2, 3-5, and a 6-8 stretch), it connects the story’s themes of greed and consequences to enduring lessons found throughout great literature — helping students think critically about what the story means, not just what happened. Includes Part 1 Literary and Thematic Analysis, Part 2 Basic Comprehension, a full answer key, rubrics, and differentiated extension projects.
