Zany Zia’s Resources
for Teachers, Librarians, Parents, and Readers
Welcome to the Zany Zia Resource Center.
Here, you’ll find free downloadable resources designed to help students in grades 3–5 read deeply, think carefully, write with imagination, and grow in character.
Each Zany Zia adventure takes readers to a different time and place. Every book also explores a character trait students can practice in real life: courage, friendship, and kindness. For each book, you’ll find discussion questions, reading response activities, vocabulary work, writing prompts, social studies connections, family reading ideas, and printable activities for classrooms, libraries, homeschool groups, and book clubs.
