Seven mysterious books written about Harlem A group that Dr. Sneed and Jacob Morrow, along with several other young artists and writers, started in the 1960s.

This 11 page independent reading resource will assist students in comprehension while reading Harlem Charade. The Harlem Charade is about three teenagers: Alex and Jin, who go to the same school, and Elvin, who was homeless until he met them. Their mission was to use art and poetry to beautify their neighborhood, to show that everyday people, who are often thought of as invisible, could change their lives and their community. I think The Harlem Charade is unlike any other book I’ve read before. Elvin’s grandfat The Harlem Charade is an interesting book. When they have answered 59 recall questions, arranged by chapter and page order, students will be prepared to participate in other guided reading or literacy circle activities.
