This 22 page workbook consists of 9 craft ideas presented as reading comprehension passages. Each passage consists of a brief background selection and a section devoted to a supply list and instructions for creating a craft. Following each passage are 5 to 6 multiple choice questions related to the passage. Each craft can be created independently by students, primarily using materials commonly found in the classroom. Students read the passage, create the craft, then answer the comprehension questions. These activities are highly motivational and great for learning centers, test prep, life skills, and independent work. All passages are written at approximately a 2nd to 3rd grade reading level. Passages/crafts include: Earth Day Suncatchers, Earth's Layers model, Fall Wreaths, Ojos de Dios (God's Eyes), Pop-up Groundhog Puppets, Abe Lincoln Puppets, Make Your Own Geodes, St. Patrick's Day Rainbows, and Bead Angel Ornaments. For similar products, see my Recipes for Reading Comprehension , Recipes for Reading Comprehension - Primary , Recipes for Reading Comprehension Volume 2 , and More Recipes for Reading Comprehension which involve passages and instructions for creating no-cook recipes. by Rebecca Bettis

Just downloaded the reading/crafting comprehension lessons. Teaching self-contained 6th grade and former art teacher...so this is great. Of course will tweak a bit to be totally honest! Have been teaching for 38 years and I'm loving learning from other great educators!
