A fun way for students to learn about space while practicing Reading Comprehension Skills. This unit is focused on the CCSS standards RI2.1, 2.2, 2.9, W 2.7; RI 3.1, 3.2, 3.9, W3.7. Hopefully, even if you are not teaching Common Core, this unit will still be helpful to teach and review reading comprehension and writing.
There are 12 short informational texts about space and the planets. There is a fact sheet about each planet with a place for students to write important facts about each.
