3rd & 4th Grade Reading Comprehension Passages and Questions, Set 2

Item description

10 weeks of information text based guided reading worksheets based on fun animals! There are literal, inferential and critical questions with both multiple choice and open ended for each set! 

Print, pop into literacy tubs for reading groups or glue into books and students are ready to go, with everything they need to complete the tasks independently. Absolutely no prep work required.

Worksheets include a themed passage to read, matching clipart and strategic questioning to cover ample reading skills. There is a small space and related prompt at the bottom of each sheet where students need to draw a small picture which also keeps students busy while you help those who may need it or manage other literacy groups.

There are 10 sets included in this bundle, with three pages per set to be printed, in clear and easy to read font. The first page has the text and multiple choice questions, the second has open ended questions and the third prompts the reader to complete an appropriate retell of that text according to the genre, with lines for students to write on.

These could be used for homework, reading groups, diagnostic and post testing. The questions have all been strategically worded to encourage readers to read between the lines, scan the text for key ideas, summarize, make inferences, sequence events and develop a solid understanding of what they are actually reading. How you use them is up to you, but all the prep work is taken out and you can just print and go!

Suggested Format for Ten Weeks Of Guided Reading:

Of course, this is up to you and there are many possible ways to implement these worksheets! What has worked well previously is either whole class intensive lessons, the worksheets being stapled into a booklet for independent work or:

Monday – Read text, highlight key details, underline unknown words and unpack

Tuesday – Re-read text, summarize what it is about, multiple choice questions page 1

Wednesday – Re-read text, open ended questions and picture on page 2

Thursday – Re-read text, follow prompt to write detailed retell on page 3

Friday – Share retells, unpack questions / answers and how we can check them

Texts Included:

Polar Bears

Star Fish

Sting Rays

Meerkats

Otters

Beavers

Clownfish

Beluga Whales

Dall Sheep

Seals

Please note these are the same texts as the second grade comprehension packet, just adjusted to a third and fourth grade level. Please leave a question if you wish to purchase both and I will discount this.
