Informational Passages for Text Marking & Close Reading Grade 2
The higher standards students today are expected to meet call for literacy instruction that focuses on the close reading of complex texts. These informational text passages are organized around high-interest topics connected to the curriculum and to key comprehension skills. The readings are specially formatted to provide practice with text marking, a proven, powerful tool for building comprehension skills, such as finding main idea and details, identifying cause and effect, and sequencing events!
Navigating nonfiction reading can be a challenge, but is an absolutely necessary skill. These reproducible, grade-level workbooks contain 20 activities designed to help strengthen students' reading comprehension skills using a basic but valuable technique: marking text. Students learn to recognize context clues such as adverbs (before, finally), phrases (In my opinion, because of), etc. Students also learn to recognize key reading elements: main idea, fact/opinion, sequence, cause/effect, comparison/contrast, contextual clues, problem/solution, inferences, summary and the author's purpose. Students read a one-page passage, mark (according to directions) certain aspects in the passage with boxes, circles, underlines, etc., and then answer comprehension questions on the next page. Includes teacher's directions, answers and comprehension skill summary cards to cut out. Supports the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Reading. 63 pp, sc. ~ Ruth
