Description
This novel study for The Westing Game is the perfect literature guide to help engage your readers with this enthralling mystery. Whether you use it for literature circles, book clubs, or as a read aloud companion, you'll love the approachable no prep format.
Daily activities focus on higher-level comprehension questions that require students to analyze the elements of The Westing Game and vocabulary practice to build academic and text-based vocabulary.
Have your readers do more than regurgitate the text!
So many novel studies center on pages of comprehension questions or multiple choice quizzes based on the book. While this work may keep students busy, it won't build transferable reading skills.
This standards-aligned book companion pack is designed to develop vocabulary and a deep understanding of reading comprehension skills. The plot of The Westing Game becomes the vehicle for teaching and practicing these skills instead of the end result.
