Instructional Ideas

• Assign the worksheet for independent practice at home 
• Work with a small group to complete the practice page, assist in locating details and answering questions using complete sentences 
• Have copies readily available for pupils to work on after their first task is complete  

Classroom Considerations

• Requires copies—two pages per child 
• Confirm the reading passage's reading level prior to assigning it  

Pros

• Objective is brief and easy to follow 

Cons

• Provides limited space for learners to write directly on the page; attach a sheet of paper to give pupils more space to respond
