✨About the Theme Passages✨
There are six sets of passages in this resource that are perfect for finding theme practice or for those times when you just need some high-quality theme worksheets!
✅Set 1: This set includes 5 shorter length passages for students to practice finding the theme and explaining how the story teaches that theme.
✅Set 2: This set includes medium-length passages. These are perfect for continuing to practice finding the theme prior to moving to the lengthier, more complex passages.Â
✅Set 3: This set includes stories that are lengthier and more complex than Sets 1 and 2. Short answer and multiple-choice questions for identifying the theme are included.
✅Set 4: This set includes 3 paired stories for students to practice comparing themes used in different stories.Â
✅Set 5: This set includes practice for a specific finding theme strategy that focuses on finding the challenge or problem, analyzing how the character(s) respond to the challenge/problem, and reflecting on the outcome of the response. They then use this to identify a theme of the story.
✅Set 6: This set includes three poems with themes for students to practice identifying the theme in poetry.
Note: This teaching theme resource spans 4th and 5th grade, and you will notice that it contains a variety of resources for different theme skills and varying text levels and lengths. If you teach 4th grade and have students who read significantly below grade level, I do not recommend this resource.
