Reading Comprehension: Fiction and Nonfiction

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This resource is made up of a series of reading passages with accompanying questions. On the first page, learners read the definitions of both fiction and non-fiction. They examine four short selections before writing either fiction or nonfiction on the lines beneath them. The next two activities are based on a short fiction story and a fictional poem. Following these texts, there are multiple choice and short answer comprehension worksheets.
