Ramona Forever by Beverly Cleary is the continuation of the story of Ramona Quimby�s year in third grade begun in the earlier book Ramona Quimby, Age 8. This volume in the continuing tales of the Quimby family of Klickitat Street in Portland, Oregon, contains a few surprises including a family wedding and the addition of a new baby to the family. As endearing an author as ever, Mrs. Cleary makes this family�s triumphs and tragedies feel universal!
Each chapter in this book is introduced with a combination vocabulary/prediction page which acquaints the reader with new words they�ll encounter and allows them to use these words to help them make predictions about what will happen in that chapter. After reading the chapter, students are asked to answer a set of comprehension questions. Three extra worksheets follow the last chapter. The first requires the reader to identify which character did what, the second asks them to order a summary of each chapter�s events, and the third invites the reader to compare him or herself to one of three important characters. A wonderful book to start with, this unit makes teaching Ramona Forever easier and more valuable. An answer key is included in this download.
