They wrote a short chapter review after each chapter and we discussed how the trailer followed the book. They would come in and talk about how they saw the trailer for the movie that morning, or the night before. We finished two days before the Christmas break and they were excited. I used the audio version as a read along with my 7th grade class. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? ![]() Great way to model reading to lower level readers.
