Instructional Ideas

• Brainstorm parade-related words to add to the list on the first page
• Gather books, or show pictures and videos, of famous parades to give scholars a context for the worksheet
• Test reading comprehension with a grand conversation asking about key ideas from the reading passage

Classroom Considerations

• Copies are required 
• The reading passage is taken from a leveled reading book that can be found, and bought, by following the link at the bottom of the practice page

Pros

• Student engagement is enhanced with an enjoyable theme presented through a short story and passage-related questions

Cons

• The objective states the practice page's concepts but does not provide details 
• The matching portion of the lesson does not specify if learners should draw lines, circle, etc.
