13 Quizzes Description:

Get a quick assessment of your students' comprehension as they read through the book with these 13 quizzes.

Each quiz contains four multiple-choice, higher-order-thinking questions over two chapters. The questions assess many CCSS-ELA standards, including vocabulary, cause and effect, main idea, summarizing, character analysis, sequence of events, story details, comparing and contrasting, and much more.

Questions and answers are written in a way similar to what students may see on a standardized test, while not being too confusing.

An answer key is provided for the quizzes.

Each quiz is also available in a Google Form so you can assign them digitally if you'd like. You must have a Google Classroom account to do so. Otherwise, you can just print from the PDF. When you open the PDF for the quizzes, go to page 15 for links to access these Google Forms.

Meets expectations for several CCSS ELA standards, including CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.10.

No answer key is provided for the journal prompts, as they are all open-ended questions.

Vocabulary Activities

Students will cut out vocabulary words and glue them in their notebook for every three to four chapters. Then they will attach the correct definition and sentence with each word. This is a very helpful, interactive way for students to practice the vocabulary, too. Directions and answer key are included.

Cloze Activities

This file contains a cloze reading activity for every two chapters of Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. Each page contains a summary of the chapters, with missing words for students to fill in. Students select the missing words from a word bank at the bottom of each page. An answer key is included.

To make it more challenging, you can cut off the word bank before you make copies.
