About this resource
Description
Learning about the fifty states begins with reading about one of them, and the Welcome To Florida Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives third graders a short, friendly non-fiction passage to practice with. Students read about the shape of Florida, its warm sunny weather, its orange groves, and the wide wetland called the Everglades, then answer questions that ask them to find stated details, use context to define a new word, and decide what the whole passage is mostly about. Because the text is written right at the third grade reading level, children can spend their thinking on the meaning instead of struggling with the words.
This 3rd grade Florida reading passage works well as morning work, a social studies warm-up, a guided reading follow-up, homework, or a quick reading check. Students read the passage on the first page, then move to the question page and fill in the bubble beside the best answer for each multiple choice item. The final question asks for a longer written answer and requires two details pulled straight from the text, which is exactly the kind of evidence-based response state reading tests ask for. The included answer key makes grading fast and lets students check their own work in a center.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 1 original non-fiction passage, 4 multiple choice questions, and 1 written response
There are three big reasons this Welcome To Florida Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps children learn. First, the passage is real information about a real place, so students practice reading to learn instead of reading only for a story, which is the harder job in third grade. Second, the questions climb in difficulty from finding a stated detail to naming the main idea, so every reader has a way in and a way to stretch. Third, the written response sends students back into the text to prove their thinking with two details, which is the habit that carries them through every later grade.
Teachers and parents can stretch this lesson in simple ways. Read the passage aloud together first, then let students reread it quietly before answering. Ask children to underline the sentence that answers each question so the evidence is visible. Pull out a United States map and have students trace the coastline, find the capital city, and point to the southern tip where the Everglades begin. Compare the weather described in the passage with the weather outside your own window, and talk about why the two are different. Students can also pick another state, research three facts about it, and write a short passage of their own in the same shape.
