FREEBIE! Flowers Reading Comprehension

If you are like me, you are always hunting more reading comprehension passages to meet the needs of the different levels of students in your classroom. Take a look at this FREEBIE below! 


This reading comprehension freebie can be used as a whole group activity with teacher led activities if your students are lower level or it can be used in guided reading groups with students who can read the passage more independently. 

Students can use different colored crayons or pencils for each sentence as they look back into the passage to find the answers to complete each sentence correctly. Students should underline the sentence as they find it with the same color they are using to write the word to complete the sentence to show the evidence of where they found the answer.

My students love completing these passages. I hope your students do too!







You can find these below plus many more at the link above! Click on each picture below or the link above to see more resources. 







 
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you and your students enjoy these READ and WRITE resources!

Spring Read and Write (Close Reading)

Spring is finally here! I am ready for some warmer weather. I don't think I could survive living in the north. I don't know how some of you do it! 

Here is a Spring Read and Write to help get you warmed up! These "Read and Writes" are great for introducing close reading. The students have to look back in the story to find the correct answer to complete the sentence correctly.

This Read and Write pack will help prepare your students with the reading comprehension skills they need. The short story in this packet is great for introducing close reading. Your kindergarten students should be ready for this resource by this time of the school year if they are meeting grade level expectations. If your students are still struggling, these short stories can be used for quick read alouds and then completing the sentences together. It makes great independent reading work for first graders.  

Spring Read and Write

This product is AVAILABLE in a Read and Write Bundle
offering a SAVINGS of 12%.


In this three page Spring Read and Write pack, students will read the one page spring story and color the pictures. Then there are two pages with five sentences on each page about the story. Each sentence has a missing word. At the end of each sentence, there are two words for students to choose the correct missing word. Students will circle the word that correctly completes the sentence matching the story on the first page, and then write the correct word in the blank. 

This is a great reading and comprehension check for guided reading, a mini lesson, a literacy center, or homework. 

This short story is great for guided reading groups, homework, literacy center activities, independent reading, or for introducing close reading strategies.

Reading Comprehension: Who? What? How?

Wow! The third quarter of this school year is almost over. Time sure is flying by! Are your students ready for the next grade level? Have you prepared your students with the reading comprehension skills needed for success in the years ahead?

This reading comprehension packet on Who? What? and How? will help prepare your students with the reading comprehension skills they need. The short stories in this packet are also great for introducing close reading. Your kindergarten students should be ready for this resource by this time of the school year if they are meeting grade level expectations. If your students are still struggling, these short stories can be used for quick read alouds focusing on the Who? What? and How? questions included.  


This 7 page book is designed so that you can copy the book, cut it in half, staple, and then it is ready for use. If you would rather use each story separate, you can do that without putting it together in book format. The seven pages consist of a title page "Who? What? How?" with each of the remaining 6 pages including a short story with a matching black and white picture. Under each short story, there are three questions about the story. The three questions ask "Who? What? and How? questions about the story.

The following photos show some of the stories included in the packet.






These stories can be put together in booklet form as discussed above or individual sheets can be used. The story/questions are on a half sheet of paper.

No matter what format you decide to use, there are many uses for these stories/questions. They can be used in a kindergarten class with the teacher reading the story and questions to the students and having the students use invented spelling to write their answers. They can also be used for independent reading practice in first or second grade by letting students read the short story, read the questions, and answer the questions even if they have to look back in the story to find the answer. Looking back in the text to find the answer is part of the popular "close reading" strategies.  

These short stories are great for guided reading groups, homework, literacy center activities, independent reading, or for introducing close reading strategies.

I hope your students enjoy these stories and questions. If you like what you see in this product, it is currently available in my Reading Comprehension Bundle including 8 other reading comprehension books. This bundle offers a 15% SAVINGS! You can find the BUNDLE HERE!

I hope your students enjoy these stories and questions.


This Reading Comprehension: Who? What? How? is available for
