As a homeschooling mom I was looking for some low cost reading comprehension guides and questions for some of the literature books we were using this year. This was exactly what I was looking for The Witch of Blackbird Pond. It saved me the time of having to create something myself. Thanks!

As a teacher with 7 different preps, I didn't have time to put together a final exam for The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Thanks for having this available. I added 3 essay questions to the end and found it to be a fine assessment of their reading comprehension. I did have to do a bit of searching to find the free answer download, but finally located it.

Great idea adding the essay questions! You should get double your salary for teaching 7 preps! I've never had more than 3 and so can't even imagine how much time goes into 7. I'm glad you found the answer key download; I do plan to add the answer keys of all my tests to the actual test document as it is much more convenient, but have not had time to do so yet.

I cut and pasted parts of this multiple choice test to add to some short answer and extended response questions over the novel. It saved me lots of time!

Covers whole book. Mostly knowledge and comprehension level questions. Not many dealing with the historic issues of the day or the moral dilemmas put forth in the book.

I highly suggest that prior to purchasing a product, you read the description of the product carefully, especially before making critical comments and negatively affecting someone's rating. My description clearly states that the purpose of this test is "assessing the students' knowledge of the plot and characters of THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND. It's focus is reading comprehension." Nothing in my description indicates that this test deals with "the historic issues of the day or the moral dilemmas put forth in the book." If that is the test you were looking for, one that delves deeper into the historical and moral issues, perhaps you should have purchased a product described as such. Sadly, your lack of attention to the product details has significantly lowered my product's rating and I do not appreciate it. When a product is labeled as "milk," and you wind up with "milk," do not expect to get "chocolate milk."

I read this quite a few years ago and don't remember details. I want to use your test that I have purchased but I would have to reread the book without the answer key. It would save me a lot of time to have the answer key; is it with my purchase and I'm just missing it? sremaly@gmail.com

I paid for the download, is there any chance you have the key?

I do have the key, however it is a hard copy in my classroom. I will get it tomorrow, type it up and upload it as a free download tomorrow night. I hope that works out for you time-wise.

I returned to my Junior High School in Glendale, CA, which is now Toll Middle School (instead of "Junior High"), and taught English for three years. I've taught 7th Grade Regular English and ELD 4 and 8th Grade Regular, Advanced English and ELD 1-2, and 3. I am now substitute teaching, having gone back to it originally to gain some high school level experience. High school is not for me, I discovered. So now I am back to the middle/junior high school level, and happier (even as a substitute). Hopefully I'll be able to find an opening and get back to teaching full-time!
