This resource will provide your second grade, third grade, and fourth grade students with 29 nonfiction passages about holidays in the month of April. Use these no-prep worksheets to have your students reading about various topics.

It seems like every day is National (insert cool thing here) Day. I decided to look into these holidays to bring some fun and excitement back to informational passages. The best part about these units though... they are EASILY enrichable! For example, take a virtual field trip to the zoo for Zoo Day, draw a dolphin for Dolphin Day, or enjoy some blueberry pie on Blueberry Pie Day!

My class has had such a fun time reading these passages and celebrating something each day.

In this unit, you will be given 29 informational passages with text dependent questions requiring short answer responses.

Please consider that not every day has a holiday that is school appropriate. Not every holiday remains on the same day each year.

All passages are informational based, usually with a history on the day and whatever is being celebrated. Passages have 4-6 questions with a few skills being met:

• asking and answering questions
• main idea
• key details
• making connections
• context clues
• author's POV vs reader's POV

Similar format throughout the unit so students get familiar with text structure and routine quickly. This document has the passage on top with the questions below.

Use during:

• reading warm-ups
• test prep
• informational text writing
• whole group instruction
• partner work
• small group
• literacy centers
• guided reading groups
• homework
• the possibilities are endless!!!!!

Did you know these passages come in a different format?

Filling Out Forms BUNDLE - Paper Based

This download includes:

• 12 background/ information reading prompts

• 6 different blank forms

• Teacher answer key

A total of 18 different sheets

Recently Updated to include 6 new background prompts!

This resource was designed to introduce and help students practice the important life skill of filling out forms. This resource is an introduction to filling out forms and is a step up to Filling Out Forms Unit 1 including more information and details on both the reading prompts and forms.

Forms Included:

• Change of Address Form

• Job Application

• New Patient Intake Form 1

• New Patient Intake Form 2

• Time Off Request

• Class Schedule Selection

From working with my own students, I realized many were unable to identify key form vocabulary such as (gender, county, & social security number). Many were also unable to accurately plug in their personal information or copy provided information onto a form often mixing up key information such as cities & counties or phone number & social security numbers.

This product will help your students to become more independent, confident and successful out in the community.
