Engage your students in reading workshop this December with this set of Christmas passages and comprehension questions! This is a fantastic way for your students to review reading strategies for nonfiction, functional text, fiction, and poetry! Use for Christmas reading activities before and after winter break or save for a festive end-of-year review activity.

Each text includes 8 standards-based questions (TEI-like items, multiple-choice, and open response).

What's Included:

• nonfiction text: "Christmas Plants"
• functional text: Mall Website Page
• fiction: "Mystery at the Market"
• poem: E. E. Cumming's "little tree"
• answer keys

These passages work well for reading groups, independent practice, homework assignments, test prep, and even assessment. They are intended to provide rigorous practice; some students may benefit from having small group support.

Recommended Grade Levels: 4, 5

Number of Pages: 19

Supported Standards: 2017 Virginia Reading SOL 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6
