Description

Looking to bring in Thanksgiving activities that help teach reading comprehension and writing skills? These 5 sets of fiction Thanksgiving stories help students practice comprehension with fun and engaging stories.
 
These Thanksgiving reading passages and comprehension questions are a perfect tool to use to help students practice their comprehension. In this product, you will find five Thanksgiving stories with 2 comprehension activities for each. One of the comprehension papers deals with answering questions about the text and the other paper deals with writing a response based on the passage.
 
What stories and themes are included?
Story 1: The Pilgrim Who Lost His Hat
  • Sequencing events
  • Writing a letter

  • Cause and effect
  • Narrative Writing
The Big Balloon Parade
  • Comparing characters
  • Writing about personal opinion

Story 5: Sharing My Pumpkin Pie
  • Text to self connections
  • Point of View Writing
There is now a digital component included in this resource. The passages are now created in Google Slides.
 
Suggested Reading:
I have found that second-grade students benefit to read this as a whole group the first time, then allow them to respond individually. However, it works great for higher readers independently. 3rd graders could work independently through this activity.

This resource of Jessica’s is fantastic (as usual). Each set makes everything so much easier to plan and organize. The pacing of the lessons is excellent, is easy to follow, and comprehensive. The posters and graphic organizers are engaging and helpful.
