Description

Build comprehension with 8 short nonfiction reading passages and questions about famous unexplained or unsolved mysteries. Options include print, Easel Activities, and Google Forms. Each worksheet has one paragraph of informational text and 4 multiple-choice questions. Topics include The Roswell Incident, the Mary Celeste ship mystery, the Pollock sisters, the Tunguska event, the disappearance of Bobby Dunbar, the Gardner Museum heist, the hijacker Dan Cooper, and the assassination of President Kennedy. The questions cover a variety of reading skills and are modeled after the types of questions on standardized reading tests. Perfect for morning work or bell work activities, reading centers, quick assessments, small group instruction, interventions, test prep, or homework!

Readability is in the 4th-6th grade range. Please check the preview to help you determine whether or not they would be suitable for your students. Some of the topics might be a little too sensitive for 3rd graders, and they will need more teacher support with decoding and vocabulary. You can purchase with confidence, as I have 32 years of experience in preparing upper elementary students for standardized reading testing!
