Sounds of A Stranger Companion Activity Workbook ( Ebook)

The official companion activity workbook to the novel Sounds of A Stranger. As Winston Coleman loses the hearing that defines him and learns to play by feel, readers ages 12 and up grow their vocabulary, practice staying calm, study character and story, and discover the sound of their own voice. All you need is a pencil and your own good thinking.

Some stories are too good to simply close and shelve. Sounds of A Stranger: The Companion Activity Digital Workbook invites young readers to step inside Winston's journey and make it their own.

Winston Coleman is a gifted saxophone player whose whole world is sound, until, note by note, his hearing begins to fade. This guided digital workbook walks beside the novel, page by page, turning a powerful story into a hands on experience. Readers build vocabulary they can actually use, explore the world through their senses the way Winston does, practice real tools for staying calm when feelings run high, study the characters and the choices that shape them, and write their own way into the story.

Rooted in social and emotional learning and a strengths based view of difference, the workbook gently builds empathy, resilience, self advocacy, and self awareness. It is warm, age appropriate, and designed for diverse learners, with room to think, reflect, and make every page personal.

Perfect for readers ages 12 and up, classrooms and homeschools in grades 6 to 12, counselors, and any family who wants to go deeper. Pairs beautifully with the novel and the Sounds of A Stranger Educator Companion.
