This is a fantastic week-long unit designed for 3rd-grade reading levels. It includes a story based on the Gemara (Yerushalmi, Pe’ah 1:1; Kiddushin 31b), highlighting Rabbi Tarfon’s exemplary care for his mother. The resource features the story in an easy-to-read format, comprehension questions (5 multiple-choice and 5 written), vocabulary lists, fill-in-the-blank review sheets, and a guided writing activity. This unit is an excellent resource for teachers looking to present meaningful content with a powerful lesson while reinforcing reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills.
