The Best Christmas Pageant Study Guide from Progeny
Press is a great Christmastime option to add to your reading list. This
guide is unique as it groups chapters of study together but also highlights
each individual chapter for comprehension purposes. This aspect makes it a
great option for a first-time literature guide user. Vocab covers a chapter
range where students find dictionary definitions, use their own words, and
complete fill-in-the-blank exercises. Each chapter is then given its own set of
comprehension and Bible connection questions. Literary concepts covered in this
guide include point of view, mood, idioms, and similes.
There is a nice Character Study that helps students use descriptive language
and identify the story arc for each character. Prereading Activities
provide context to what you will read. The After-You-Read Activities are
suggested extension work to make connections to what you just read. A catered
list of age-appropriate Further Reading books is provided. Answers are in the
back on perforated pages for easy removal. 51 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Publisher's Description of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Study Guide | Progeny Press
Everyone agreed that the six Herdman kids were the worst kids in the world. They lied, they stole, they hit little kids, they talked dirty, and everyone smoked cigars (even the girls.) To the other children Sunday School was a safe haven, because the Herdman's never went there. Then one Sunday, when the Herdman's show up looking for chocolate cake, they hear about the Christmas pageant and decide they want to participate.
Landing all the main parts, what will happen when kids who have never even heard the story of Christmas interpret it for their new church?
The Upper Elementary guides provide age-appropriate reading
and activities for students from a Christian perspective. This level of
literature guides has moved exclusively to chapter books and will be fortifying
literary analysis and reading comprehension skills. Titles include lots of
nostalgic books from our childhood. There are great hands-on activities,
dedicated vocabulary building sections, digging deeper comprehension questions,
and connections to Scripture and application throughout every guide. Your
target goal is 4-6 guides in your school year. Answers are in the back and can
be easily removed. You may be working with a range of students all from one
guide, and that’s okay! Each student will do what they are developmentally
capable of accomplishing. User-friendly and a useful tool to guide reading for
a purpose! ~Rebecca
