Item description
This nonfiction resource helps your students learn to read informational text and find supporting evidence. Students read a nonfiction passage, then answer questions, as they read and when they are complete. There are several opportunities for students to give their opinions in response to a text. Students are encouraged to write how a fact makes them feel, to form their own conclusions, to offer suggestions for improvement, or tell what they would do in a similar situation. This helps them learn to comprehend the informational text passages and find evidence. The varying nonfiction structures (descriptive, compare/contrast, chronological, problem/solution, and cause/effect) of the passages also plays a key role in improving comprehension. Each passage also has an assessment to check for comprehension.
