What educators are saying

This was perfect to go along with our rainforest unit. Easy for the kids to read and navigate and great pictures for them to see the animals they are learning about as well.
This information was great for my 3rd grade students who were researching these particular animals. They were levelled at an easier reading level, with good information for them to write dot points.

    Description

    This Rainforest Animals - Reading Passages, Vocabulary, and Comprehension Activities BUNDLE is a comprehensive collection of 12 engaging informational articles centered around the captivating world of Rainforest Animals and their remarkable habitats.

    Each article is packed with fascinating facts and intricate details, providing students with a wealth of knowledge to enhance their reading comprehension and inspire their informational writing.

    Rainforest Animals include

    • Anaconda
    • Capybara
    • Jaguar

    • Morpho Butterfly
    • Red Eyed Tree Frog
    • Sloth
    • Toucan
    • Piranha
    • Poison Dart Frog

    I use these articles as a resource when researching and writing about animals. We read the article, look at a variety of web sites, and watch a couple of videos to gather all our facts about the animal. Once we have the facts, we sort the facts into categories and then write our research report.

    Included in each Rainforest Animal Article are

    • Vocabulary Cards with key terms from the reading passage
    • Vocabulary Activities - matching with and without photos & Frayer Model
    • Informational Article in two formats (with and without photos)
    • Websites for additional research: QR Codes & Google Site
    • Graphic Organizers for note-taking
    • Comprehension Activities such as short answer and cloze reading
    • Fact Sort for students can organize the facts
    • Summary Page
    • Writing Pages for a mini-report
    • Google Slides with student sheets include drag and drop pieces and text boxes

    Some videos are on YouTube. Make sure you can access YouTube at school.

    The articles are written at about a second / third grade reading level and are controlled for sentence length and complexity.

    Also available as a BUNDLE with other animal articles.

    These articles compliment my Informational Writing Tools packet.
