Where the Red Fern Grows These webpages were created by students as part of the 2002 ThinkQuest Competition. You may visit the ThinkQuest site for the original work created by our students at http://library.thinkquest.org/CR0211900/fern/where_the_red_fern_grows.htm?tqskip1=1 Over time I have learned that students need fewer vocabulary words, more comprehension practice, and tie-ins with English skills. You will find links to all the original pages as well as new links for this wonderful book that remains one of the students' favorites.
Where the Red Fern Grows tells the the exciting story of 10-year old Billy living in the Ozark Mountains during the Great Depression. After saving for two years Billy earns enough money to buy two hound pups, Ol'Dan and Li'l Ann. Together Billy and these two hounds go coon hunting almost daily. They even enter a coon hunting tournament. Read Where the Red Fern Grows to see if this young boy and his two coon hounds can bet the older contestants in the coon hunt. ~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^ Reading Level 5.0 AR Points 12.0- +~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^~*~^ Awards a Literary Guild selection made into a motion picture by Doty-Dayton Productions and released in March 1974 1987 Massachusetts Children's Book Award 6/95 Earphone Award for Audio Version 1989 Great Stone Face Award 1981 North Dakota Children's Book Award
