Reading Skills Activities | Reading Comprehension | Finding Facts
Improve Overall Reading Comprehension with Targeted Specific Skill Practice!
Focusing on one comprehension skill at a time gives students the opportunity to master that skill and improve their general reading and comprehension skills.
Finding Facts:
Being able to find the facts in a story is a basic, yet essential, comprehension skill. It helps to lay the foundation for success in mastering other comprehension skills.
You may want to introduce this skill by explaining to students that facts are small bits of information that make up the whole of a story.
Skill Specific Activities
There are 15 high-interest, short stories in this selection that include a variety of fiction and non-fiction topics. The follow up questions guide students to find the facts. The facts might be who, what, where, when or why. Or they might be the names of people and places, dates, times, and numbers.
Each story is numbered instead of having a title. The last question for each story asks the students to give the story a title. This important activity helps to determine the student’s level of understanding the story’s main idea.
Visual Lesson
Each story has an engaging illustration designed to bring the story to life and help capture the interest of reluctant readers. To help sharpen inference skills, students can be asked to use the illustration to predict what the story is about.
Teaching Opportunities
These targeted activities are great for one-on-one intervention, small groups of students at multiple skill levels or whole class participation. Can be used for remediation, review, and transition classes.
Details:
Each short story is between 140 and 160 words and is written at a 3.0 to 4.5 reading level according to the Flesch-Kincaid Readability Scale. The interest level is grades 4 and up.
