What educators are saying

I love using these in small group. The students love using colored highlighters or pencils to underline the evidence.
The resource is well-made and gave my students sufficient practice on figuring out how illustrations add to a story and to their understanding of the story. I will use this resource every year. Thank you!

Description

Students will identify how illustrations add to a story (i.e. create mood, emphasize aspects of a character or setting).  They will also connect illustrations with the text to draw conclusions, and identify the sections of a fictional passage that an illustration reflects.  

These reading comprehension worksheets have a mini-lesson and reference notes at the top to serve as an anchor, followed by a fictional reading passage and several multiple choice/open response questions.  Tips are included next to some commonly asked questions to mentor students on how to best answer them.  Use as test prep, or to teach and practice the fundamentals of answering questions that refer to a story’s illustrations.

THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES:

  • 4 illustration-focused worksheets, centered around fictional reading passages
  • 19+ questions, with simulated standardized test questions for third, fourth & fifth grade
  • Mix of multiple choice and open/short response activities
  • Unassisted version without tips
  • Digitally enabled (Easel Activities) version to assign online via Google Classroom or any LMS
