Comprehension Quickies Level 5

These worksheets offer quick reading comprehension practice and assessment. Each page features a short (4-8 sentence), interesting, information-packed paragraph followed by six or seven short-answer comprehension questions. The paragraphs are about real people, places and events; for example, in Level 1, topics include the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Scotland Yard, Mt. Rushmore, Houdini, The Liberty Bell, the Tower of London, and more. The questions are basic and can be answered by referring to the passages. There are 27 worksheets in each book. Each worksheet should only take about five minutes to complete, though they may take longer for struggling readers or writers. Worksheets are reproducible, and answers are included in the back of each book. These books were developed to be used for struggling readers from grades 4-8, but they can easily be adapted for younger grades because of the reading levels. Level One is written at a 1st grade reading level, Level Two at a 2nd grade level, and so on. If you have a second grader reading at a third grade level, go with book three; if you have a seventh grader reading at a fourth grade level, go with book four. Each book is 30 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
