Students read 1-2 sentences and answer the following two questions:
⭐ What is the meaning of the word . . .
⭐ What context clue(s) did you use?
Each Context Clues Worksheet includes 6 opportunities for students to use context clues to determine the meaning of the underlined words.

By French Made Fun!
I've been asked by many to create a document that encompasses lots of comprehension texts and questions, specifically related to science. Interdisciplinary approaches are becoming more popular, but it's not always easy to find texts that meet the needs of our curriculum!
This 73-page document includes 22 different texts directly linked to grade 6 science units; including biodiversity and protecting our planet, space and the solar system, air and flight, as well as grade 5 concepts including forces and structures and matter.
All except two texts come with comprehension questions.
These will allow you to explore texts in your LA reading blocks, and will allow your students to improve their comprehension. These texts are informational, or hybrid texts that will give your students rich, meaningful readings. They're printer-friendly, with no foolish fonts or babyish images.
In this collection, you'll find the following titles:
Hopefully this helps you find common ground in your language block, so you can move quicker through the science units you're expected to cover before year's end.
