What educators are saying
Description
This resource contains comprehension questions for each of the decodable readers that come with the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Journeys curriculum for SECOND GRADE UNIT 5. There are TWO decodable readers for each lesson (so 10 stories in all), and five comprehension questions for each decodable reader.
The digital option for this resource has already been done for you, it contains just the write-in pages with text boxes for students to type in answers.
These questions are compatible with the 2014 and 2017 editions of Journeys Decodable Readers. Questions for the following titles are included:
Mustangs
Time to Move
What's That?
Get Smarter!
Friday Cat
Bugs in Action
The Unreal Party
Knick and Knack
A Spring Walk
The Softball Game
Even though the purpose of decodable text is not for deep comprehension, but I found that students were rushing through reading each story, without understanding what they read. I designed these questions to give me a way to check to make sure students understood what they read. These questions are meant to be used as a quick check to see that students are understanding what they read. It also lets them practice going back to the text to answer some "right there" questions. These can be used in small groups, for paired reading, or in literacy centers.
The questions are in three formats: one format is in a one page sheet for reference for the teacher to use in small group guided reading. The second is in a task card format that students can use individually or in paired reading. The third format is a written question and answer. I hope these can help you get the most out of the decodable readers!
