Earth Day Nonfiction Reading Passages

Earth day reading comprehension passages. This pack would make a great addition to your units on Earth Day during April. I created for use for reading & comprehension fluency. These cards are non-fictional passages about planet earth, the problems it faces, facts about the sun global warming and more. There are six cards in total with two levels. Level 1 is of grades 1-3 reading level and level 2 is of K-1 reading level (although it depends on your students' reading levels, Kindergarten students may be ready to read these towards the end of their school year - however they will require assistance so you could mount a passage on your whiteboard for shared reading). You may choose the set that you want to print out, laminate and reuse. I use the easier sets with my ESL students. Reading comprehension is one of the most important skills teachers can impart to their students. Help students develop critical thinking skills with this set.

What's included:

- 6 passage cards for level 1 (Grades 2-3) with questions for responding to the text.

- 6 passage cards for level 2 (Grades K-1) with questions for responding to the text.

- 3 response sheets

- 2 independent comprehension readers (each level) and questions to follow.

Skills these cards address are:

- identifying details

- understanding content

- fluency

- expanding vocabulary

- drawing conclusions
