Less than $5 Homeschool Close Reading Activities

This is a both the 2 page printer friendly black and white worksheet and full color worksheet to print and hand to your students. While you read Would You Rather be a Bullfrog? by Theo LeSieg.

Tell you students something along the lines of:

"I'm going to read you a fun story. You need to think about each question comparing 2-3 nouns. A Noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. You wont tell me out loud which one you would rather be you are going color or circle your choice. This is a great way to practice writing while listening."

The idea behind this worksheet is to allow students to:

• interact with the story that is quiet
• encourages decision making.
• allows students to start practicing skills for note taking.

Elevate your kindergarten students' reading comprehension skills with this collection of kindergarten fluency reading passages with multiple-choice questions and answer keys. This resource includes ten carefully crafted passages, six focused on CVC words for kindergarten learners, and four comprehension passages suitable for advanced kindergarteners or first-grade students.

The CVC passages feature phonetically regular words and captivating illustrations to engage young readers while developing their decoding and sight word recognition. The four comprehension passages challenge students with longer sentences and complex vocabulary, promoting deeper understanding and critical thinking.

Accompanied by multiple-choice questions, these passages encourage critical thinking and assessment. Answer keys are included to support teachers in providing accurate feedback and guidance.

These resources can be used during the summer to prevent the summer slide or during regular school days to support ongoing learning. Teachers can incorporate them into their lesson plans or utilize them as supplemental materials for individual or group activities.

Empower your students and strengthen their reading abilities with this invaluable resource tailored to kindergarten classrooms.

Don't forget that leaving feedback earns you points toward free TeachShare purchases. So I would love to hear from you about your experience with it.
