Fiction and Poetry Quick Read 5 Pack: Short story & poetry comprehension skills

Give your students the resources they need to learn, master, and review fiction and poetry comprehension skills by adding this 5 pack to your language arts resource library. These lively and engaging quick reads are great for warms ups, guided reading, shared reading, or quizzes. You can even string three or more of them together for a rigorous and comprehensive review assessment on elements of fiction and poetry.

Here’s what you get:

• Two short fiction passages with full plot development, climax, and character development.
• Three poems—rhymed, free verse, and fixed verse—that touch on the seasons, birth, and renewal. The poems are just the right challenge for upper elementary and beyond. They are not children’s poems, but serious poems that children can and will enjoy.
• Five question mini assessments for each short story and poem.
• A glossary for the fixed verse poem
• Convenient one-page layout

Designed for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade, but appropriate for other grades, including middle school and beyond.
