Summary
The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant
Climb in the station wagon and join the relatives for a fun-filled drive to their summer destination! The relatives are visiting family for the summer months. As students learn new comprehension strategies they will feel like part of the family, creating a connection to the story, taking away the ability to retell, infer a character’s thoughts and feelings and ask questions about the text.
