Lewis’s beloved children’s novel, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with this focused two-page reading comprehension worksheet! Designed for sixth- through eighth-grade readers, this worksheet invites students to read two short excerpts from the novel describing Edmund’s first two meetings with the Witch Queen in Narnia. On page two, learners will use text evidence to describe the similarities and differences in the two scenes, focusing on the characters' words, actions, and attitudes, as well as details about the setting and tone of each passage. For additional targeted practice with this novel, be sure to check out Targeted Reading Skills Practice: Analyzing Characters in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and Targeted Reading Skills Practice: Figurative Language in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.
