Ten vocabulary words from Frindle's first chapter — deserved, troublemaker, delighted, thermostat, custodian, liven, promptly, apologized, gradually, and experiment — are practiced through fill-in-the-blank sentences before students move to six true/false statements and six multiple-choice questions checking plot comprehension, including which teacher enjoyed Nick's prank and who reported it to the principal. Six long-answer questions extend the chapter into reflection and personal connection, asking students to describe Nick's classroom pranks in their own words, judge whether he counts as a troublemaker, and share a personal story about a prank they witnessed or took part in. A complete answer key covers every vocabulary, true/false, multiple-choice, and long-answer item, including model responses summarizing Nick's tropical-island prank on Miss Deaver's class and his bird-call prank on Mrs. Avery's class.
