Description

Watch reluctant readers become eager readers with these star-studded activities! This high-interest set contains 14 mini-biographies of talented male musicians and bands along with a variety of fun activities to test comprehension. As an added bonus, an extended research activity is also included.

Most everyone enjoys reading about celebrities. The short, high-interest, easy- to-read biographies in this book are sure to capture students’ attention. Each story is accompanied by an activity page that tests reading comprehension and enhances following-directions skills. Activity pages include fact-based questions, crossword puzzles, true-false/fact-opinion questions, fill-in-the-blanks, and more. A related research project for each story may require the use of a dictionary, an almanac, encyclopedia, atlas, or the Internet.

Additional Activity:
Since the events in the lives of celebrities are constantly changing, ask students to become reporters and write a “celebrity update,” adding any new information that they can find on a particular celebrity. A template for this is provided on page 29. Hold a guided class discussion in which the students share their information and talk about their findings.
