Description
This resource is a weekly review of informational text comprehension. This can be used for homework, morning work, or classwork. It would be perfect to use during an informational unit or after the unit for reinforcement.
About the Informational Text Reading Homework
This resource contains 4 informational passages written at two levels: 4th/5th grade level and 3rd/4th grade level.
One passage is meant to be used for an entire week. There is a different assignment each day with the same passage. The students will revisit the passage each day to complete the daily assignment. This will support a deeper understanding of the text and provide the student a chance to practice close reading of a text.
There are 3 options for the daily assignments (on pages 5-7) for you to choose from based on your students' needs. A blank directions page, if you want to write in your own directions for the daily assignments, can be found on page 8.
For each option, Monday through Wednesday are general, open-ended responses to the text, and Thursday is a set of text-dependent questions specific to each text. The Thursday questions for this set are all short-answer questions that assess students' general comprehension skills.
Follow these steps to assign the review work:
1. Choose and print the directions and passage level you want to use.
2. Print the Thursday comprehension questions.
3. Staple the three pages and you have a week’s worth of review ready for your students.
An answer key with suggested answers is included.
