Novel Study: A Wrinkle in Time: Pre-Reading Activity

Prepare students for reading A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle by guiding them through this anticipation guide as a pre-reading activity! An anticipation guide is a comprehension strategy used before reading to activate students’ prior knowledge and build curiosity about what they’ll read. Designed for sixth- and seventh-grade learners, this worksheet asks students to read eight statements related to themes in the book. Students will decide whether they agree or disagree with each statement and provide reasons to defend their opinion. This pre-reading activity is part of a larger novel study unit on Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time.
