Logan likes Mary Anne! Comprehension Questions & Reading Journal

Logan likes Mary Anne! questions by chapter

We know the book, its characters, setting and story, but not what happens in each chapter. So every question is written for this book, and any of them works wherever your reader has just stopped. One question per chapter, across all 15 chapters, and every one is editable before you print. The example answers under 3 of the chapters are the ones printed at the front of the booklet.

1. Chapter 1

   What have you learned so far about the Baby-sitters Club and Mary Anne's place in it? Explain how the club matters to her.

2. Chapter 2

   How would you describe Mary Anne's personality based on your reading so far? Choose one detail that helps show what she is like.

   Example answer: I would describe Mary Anne as shy and caring. Her work as a babysitter helps me see her caring side because she has to think about children's needs. I think being shy does not mean she has nothing to say. It may just take her more time to feel comfortable sharing her thoughts.

3. Chapter 3

   Based on what you know so far about Logan, what do you predict he might find easy or difficult about joining the Baby-sitters Club? Explain your thinking.

4. Chapter 4

   How does Mary Anne respond to other people in your reading so far? Explain what one of her responses suggests about her feelings.

5. Chapter 5

   Choose a word from your reading so far that helps describe a character's feelings. What do you think it means, and what clues in the text helped you?

6. Chapter 6

   What does your reading so far suggest about making someone feel welcome? Use a detail involving Logan, Mary Anne, or the Baby-sitters Club.

7. Chapter 7

   Do you think babysitting skill should matter more than being a boy or a girl when someone wants to join the Baby-sitters Club? Explain your opinion using what you have read so far.

   Example answer: I think babysitting skill should matter more. Logan wants to become the club's first boy member, but being a boy does not tell the club how well he can care for children. I would want the members to find out whether he is patient, responsible, and careful. Those qualities seem more important for a babysitter.

12. Chapter 12

    What do you think might happen next between Mary Anne and Logan? Support your prediction with something you have already read.

    Example answer: I predict Mary Anne and Logan will get to know each other better. Logan's interest in Mary Anne makes me think he will want to spend more time with her. Since Mary Anne is shy, I think talking about their feelings could be difficult at first. I will watch for clues that she is becoming more comfortable around him.
