Soul Surfer (Ch. 9-16) is a Grade 6–8 English reading-comprehension worksheet with 10 multiple-choice questions about Bethany’s experiences, feelings, relationships, and key events. Students identify chapter-specific details such as when Bethany returns to surfing, who inspires her, which company supports her, what she calls her arm, and where she first sees snow. The worksheet also asks students to interpret Bethany’s emotional responses, including how surfing makes her feel and how she responds to being in the spotlight. These questions help students recall information from Chapters 9–16, connect events to characters, and distinguish accurate details from plausible distractors. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key, making it useful for independent practice, reading checks, or a post-reading assessment.

This worksheet checks reading comprehension of Chapters 9–16 through 10 multiple-choice questions. Students recall key events and details, identify people and organizations connected to Bethany, and interpret her feelings about surfing and being in the spotlight.
Use the chapter labels in the questions to guide a focused rereading of Chapters 9–16, then have students cite the passage or event that supports each multiple-choice answer. Discuss why Bethany feels a rush while surfing, feels uncomfortable in the spotlight, and considers alternatives such as soccer and surf photography.
Students may confuse details from different chapters, especially the timing of Bethany’s return to surfing, the place where she first sees snow, and the people or companies associated with her. They may also select a generally positive or negative option without matching the question’s specific description of Bethany’s feelings, such as choosing that she enjoys the spotlight instead of recognizing her discomfort.
The worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for the 10 multiple-choice questions. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to grade it efficiently.
