Description
How to Teach Informational Reading
Informational texts ask students to read for facts, follow an explanation step by step, and back up their answers with details. This reselling for profit reading comprehension worksheet gives fifth graders an original nonfiction passage about how sellers buy goods in bulk and sell them again, so they can practice close reading while learning how money and business really work.
Using the Worksheet
The two-page passage, “Reselling for Profit,” explains wholesale and retail prices, shows how to find a unit price, and walks through a worked granola bar example that subtracts the cost of goods and the expenses to find the real profit. It also covers supply and demand, the risks of buying too much, and why careful sellers keep records. Every key term is defined right in the text. After reading, students answer four multiple-choice questions on vocabulary in context, cause and effect, a multi-step money calculation, and the central idea, then write a two-part response that explains one benefit and one risk of buying in bulk. This 5th grade economics reading passage includes a full answer key, so it is easy to check in class or at home.
What’s Included
- A two-page informational passage with a full-color illustration
- Four multiple-choice comprehension questions
- One two-part constructed response question with writing lines
- An answer key with a sample written response
Why It Helps Kids
- Builds reading stamina with a grade-level nonfiction passage
- Connects reading to real-world math with unit prices, costs, and profit
- Teaches key economics vocabulary through clear definitions in context
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before reading, bring in a store flyer and have students compare the price of one item with the price of a multipack. After the reselling for profit reading comprehension worksheet, let small groups plan a pretend snack stand: choose a product, find its unit price, set a selling price, and list their expenses to predict a profit. At home, families can compare unit prices on a grocery trip and talk about which deal is really the best.
