BOY - Comprehension and Vocabulary Study Guide

This is a practical study guide for Roald Dahl’s “Boy.” It is an 8 page handout* that will guide students through the plot, characters and themes of the autobiography, and is presented in a visually appealing way to make the analysis enjoyable,
while building vocabulary (significant words and their meanings are provided), challenging deeper reading of the text and creative exercises.
The emphasis in this resource is a practical comprehension and vocabulary unit that is self-working for students who read ahead, and is able to be immediately used without teacher explanation because of direct, clear activities. The activities are

1. comprehension questions for each chapter
2. vocabulary and meaning for each chapter
3. grammatical exercises to identify parts of speech
4. creative questions to develop the ideas in the memoir

• the pages are numbered - a pet issue with me to avoid time wasting “where are we?” questions and immediate “go to” in giving class instructions
