West African Mythology Workbook (20 Reading Comprehension & Vocabulary Assignments)

The West African Mythology Workbook is designed to introduce students to the rich stories, deities, spirits, and creatures of West African folklore through short, engaging reading passages. Each article is written at a middle school level and includes embedded comprehension questions, making it easier for struggling readers, students with ADHD, and those in special education to focus and retain information. The workbook also highlights four bold vocabulary words per article, with context clue definitions to build language skills naturally. Lessons follow a consistent, chunked format, encouraging students to read, reflect, and respond immediately, which helps maintain attention and reinforces understanding. The combination of cultural storytelling, guided questions, and structured vocabulary support allows all learners—including general education students—to develop reading comprehension, critical thinking, and knowledge of history and mythology. This format promotes engagement, confidence, and independent learning.
