Engage your students in reading workshop this November with this set of 3 Thanksgiving passages and comprehension questions! This no-prep set is a fantastic way for your 4th and 5th grade students to review reading strategies for nonfiction, functional text, and fiction! Use for Thanksgiving reading activities or save for spring test prep!

Each text includes 9 standards-based questions (TEI-like items, multiple-choice, and open response). They cover a range of skills such as summarizing details, making inferences, identifying the conflict, understanding author's purpose, and more. Word analysis questions are also included for each passage.

What's Included:

• nonfiction text: "What's Tradition, Anyway" magazine article
• functional text: "Falls City Thanksgiving Events" flier
• fiction: "A Thanksgiving Invitation"
• 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: 15

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