Thirty-six pages familiarize scholars with the story and vocabulary of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. After reading and listening to an abbreviated version of the holiday tale learners show what they know about the sequence of events and characters. Questions challenge readers to prove their comprehension. Grammar practice focuses on verb tenses, adjectives, synonyms, antonyms, reported speech, and homophones. Fun pages include a look at Charles Dicken's life, his works, a crossword puzzle, a question game, and a quiz about Christmas in Britain.
