Mercy Watson to the Rescue - Book Study Guide

This Mercy Watson to the Rescue chapter study guide is intended to supplement your students' reading of this charming book, written by Kate DiCamillo. There are questions for each chapter, in addition to a character chart, a pre-reading book scan page, a book review page, and two additional extension worksheets. An answer key is included as well!

There are a variety of chapter questions and higher-order thinking skills incorporated in this packet, including reading comprehension, vocabulary, making predictions, text-to-self connections, compare and contrast, drawing illustrations, finding evidence from the text, parts-of-speech (nouns, adjectives, action verbs), and determining facts versus opinions.

This packet would work great in literature circles, as individual work, homework, whole-class work, to help facilitate discussions, or any way you see fit with your particular group of students.
