(ENG) DANGEROUS WINTER SPORTS - READING COMPREHENSION

By French Made Fun!

This is the English version. Looking for the French version? It's right here!

This 16-page resource will provide you with 4 separate texts, each about a dangerous winter sport :

  • Bobsleigh,
  • Aerial-Freestyle Skiing,
  • Skeleton Luge and
  • Snowboarding.

Each text is two full pages and each is accompanied by 4 in-depth questions as well as an answer key.

These texts can be used to model reading or writing skills, for informative and descriptive writing, or to use during a guided reading or shared reading with your students. They could be used as an assessment of comprehension. They could easily be assigned to a substitute teacher. I love using these readings around Canada Games, Winter Games or Olympics.

As with all of my documents, I cater to a strictly middle-school crowd, and you'll not find frilly, kiddish or immature content (vocabulary, fonts, structure or images). These would be suitable for your students in grades 5-7 (even 4th or 8th), depending on needs and interests.
