About this resource
Description
Our comparing similar text important points worksheet helps first graders see that two texts about the same topic can share some ideas and still teach different things. Finding what two texts have in common, and what only one of them says, is a key first grade reading skill that builds careful, look-back reading.
About This Worksheet
This 1st grade compare and contrast worksheet gives children two short, original nonfiction texts about sunflowers. Text 1 tells how a sunflower grows from a tiny seed into a tall yellow flower. Text 2 tells about the round sunflower face and the seeds packed in its middle. After reading, students fill in the circle to choose the main point of each text. Then they read six sentences and circle yes or no to show whether both texts tell that idea. Bright pictures in each text card help young readers picture the ideas as they read.
What’s Included
- Page 1: two illustrated informational texts on the same topic
- Page 2: two main point multiple choice questions and six yes or no compare questions
- Page 3: a complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it teaches children to go back into a text to check a detail instead of guessing. Second, asking whether both texts tell an idea makes same and different easy to see. Third, choosing the main point of each text builds early main idea skills that students will use with longer texts in later grades.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read the two texts aloud first, then let children reread them on their own before they turn to page 2. Invite students to point to the sentence in each text that proves their answer. Use the comparing similar text important points worksheet in a small reading group, a literacy center, as homework, or as a quick check after a lesson on informational text. For more practice, pick two picture books about the same animal and ask the same yes or no questions.
