About this resource
Description
Reading comprehension grows when students read longer texts, follow characters across many stories, and back up every answer with evidence. This Meerfus the Magician reading comprehension test collection puts twelve connected stories in one place, so upper elementary readers can build stamina and skill one story at a time.
Meerfus is a stage magician who designs and builds his own props, and every trick he shows comes from practice and clever design, never real magic. His young assistant, Duncan, helps him plan, test, and fix each project. Every story has its own passage pages, a questions page with multiple-choice items and a written response, and an answer key at the back of the packet. Use this 5th grade reading comprehension test collection as a full unit, as weekly practice, or as a set of short assessments.
What’s Included
- A cover page with a summary and a table of contents
- Twelve illustrated fiction and nonfiction passages about Meerfus and Duncan
- A questions page for every story, with multiple-choice and constructed-response items
- Twelve answer keys, one for each story, at the end of the packet
The twelve stories are: Magic Wand Collection, Meerfus Makes a Wand, Meerfus Vs. Duncan, The Rules of Wand-Making, Meerfus Fights with Magic… Sort Of, Fireball Wand, Will-o-the-Wisps, Meerfus Meets Duncan, The Magic of Making, Meerfus the Magician Returns, Milton the Green, and Duncan’s Great Success.
Why This Collection Helps Kids
- Reading many stories about the same characters helps students track how characters change.
- Every question sends students back to the text to find evidence.
- The stories show patience, careful testing, and teamwork solving real problems.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Assign one story a week and keep a class chart of each problem Meerfus and Duncan solve. Ask students to compare two stories and explain how Duncan grows as a helper. Students can also plan a safe stage trick of their own and write the steps. The Meerfus the Magician reading comprehension stories also work well for small groups, partner reading, and homework.
