Christmas Reading Comprehension Webquest
Students will go on a webquest (visit a kid-friendly, informational website) to learn about Christmas.
Students will then use different reading comprehension graphic organizers to answer questions about Christmas.
Students will fill out a KWL (know, what to know, what I learned) chart, answer 5 W (who, what, where, when, why) questions about the text, write about the main idea and key details, practice using new vocabulary, and then write a summary about what they have learned.
Reading Comprehension – Summary Writing – Bulletin Board
Conclude the project by allowing students to write a summary about what they have learned about Christmas using the key vocabulary you worked on.
Writing about what they are reading is an excellent way for students to show their reading comprehension.
