About this resource
Description
Reading a biography teaches students to follow a real person’s life from beginning to end and to notice what that person did when things got hard. This Tina Turner Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives 4th Grade readers a short, true story about a girl from a tiny farm town in Tennessee who grew up to be one of the most famous singers in the world. Students read the passage, then answer questions that ask them to find the main idea, explain a cause, and figure out what a new word means from the words around it.
The worksheet is a three-page, no-prep printable. Page one holds the biography passage and a full-color stage illustration, page two holds the questions, and page three is the complete answer key. Use it as a guided reading passage, a morning warm-up, a sub plan, or a quick assessment. This 4th grade biographies worksheet also works well inside a music unit, a Black History Month unit, or a character-education lesson about hard work and perseverance.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- A 330-word biography passage written at a 4th Grade reading level
- 3 multiple-choice questions covering main idea, cause and effect, and vocabulary in context
- 5 word-bank sentences and 1 written-response question
There are three reasons this Tina Turner Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps students grow as readers. First, the passage is measured to a 4th Grade reading level, so students practice at the same reading demand their state test will use. Second, every question sends them back into the text for evidence instead of letting them answer from memory. Third, the written response asks them to explain a sequence of events in their own words, which is exactly the kind of constructed answer older elementary students need to practice.
Teachers and parents can stretch this lesson in several directions. Ask students to build a timeline of the events in the passage, or to write one sentence about a time they kept working at something difficult. Pair the sheet with other biographies and have students compare two people on a Venn diagram. You can also listen to a recording together and talk about how practice makes a performer better, or invite students to research another musician and write five facts of their own.
