Let's talk about a little thing called Canada! Now, as a Canadian, I have travelled, and nobody knows anything about Canada except that its cold. Well, now that might be true (sometimes), we have a lot more going for us than just harsh winter weather.
Canada is a magnificent, beautiful country with friendly, smart people that say more things than just "eh!"
I put some of that information together for our students.
This Reading Comprehension Packet is filled with 4 Canadian topics that are 1 page each. Each topic contains 5 response sheets to help build comprehension. This packet is designed to build comprehension for older students- grades 4-7.
Topics
- Canada's Climate
- Canadian Cities
- Northern Lights -Aurora Borealis
- Canadian Lakes
Also Included in the download: Just print, and stack, no laminating or cutting required!
This packet can be used in a variety of ways...
1. Orally- this is a great way to build comprehension with students who are not yet ready to write a response or read the books independently. You can read the book out loud and students can practice responding orally in a group setting.
2. Small Groups or Partners- The topics include short topics with many new words to increase vocabulary. This would be a perfect way to incorporate shared reading and group work.
3. Independent Work- For students who are more fluent in their reading, this would be a great way to assess their reading comprehension and ability to respond appropriately on the response sheets.
The response sheets are multiple-choice, short answer and fill in the blank.
