Non-Fiction Reading Comprehension Passages and Questions
You can grab these reading comprehension activities and relax because we’ve done the hard work for you! This resource features 20 engaging non-fiction texts and a wealth of reading comprehension strategies. Higher-order thinking questions challenge students to read deep and think critically about the passages. These activities meet many of the requirements for the New Zealand Literacy Reading Progressions: End of Year 4 and End of Year Six and would be suitable for gold level and above (or lower levels as a shared reading activity).
 
Click here to see a preview with a full reading passage including activities (and answers) to trial with your students.
 
What this resource is all about:
 
The purpose of this resource is to provide ready-to-go non-fiction passages and engaging higher-order thinking questions.
 
This resource is full of exciting, thought-provoking activities to grab your students’ attention AND hold it. The activities begin at the lower levels of Blooms Taxonomy (Remember and Understand) and move through to the higher levels (Analyze, Evaluate, Create). The questions help students to deeply read the text, while text-dependent questions help to generate discussion and could be used by small groups as well as by individual students.
