The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Novel Study Guide | PDF | Lexile | Google Forms

Independent reading is the most powerful means of developing vocabulary, so it is important to take full advantage of the reading experience and text exposure to reinforce “on level” word acquisition.

As a Lexile partner, I have curated an “on level” list of Lexile Challenge Words your students encountered in this book. The consequence and relevance of the words are considered before adding them to the list. This analysis is made up of a combination of factors including:

• Frequently - How often does the word appear? High frequency words are important for understanding the main themes and topics in the text.
• Size of the word family? Words with various prefixed and suffixed forms are identified as they allow students to apply word knowledge to several other forms of the word and help them expand their vocabulary.
• On how many other Lexile lists is the word included? High frequency on-level words are academic and important for success in school.

This novel study includes everything you need to turn The Best Christmas Pageant Ever into a mini book course. The guide includes reading comprehension quizzes, vocabulary/spelling word lists, graphic organizers, writing worksheets, and supplementary Google Forms that digitalized our book course's quizzes/tests.
