Do you have students who need extra practice with comprehension skills? Then, this product was designed especially for you. Short, high-interest, one-paragraph reading passages were specifically written to aid students in “Drawing a Conclusion.”

SPECIFIC SKILL: CONCLUSION

Drawing a conclusion means using information in the story to help make a decision about something. A logical conclusion must be supported by putting together details that are stated in the story. This can be a challenging skill to master.

READING PASSAGES

Each card has four, short, one-paragraph reading passages. The reading passages are written in such a way that students should be able to draw a logical conclusion.

The reading passages are arranged in ascending order. The progression allows students to begin at a lower reading level (Card 1a) and move on to higher levels (Card 8b) as their skills improve.

Reading levels begin at 3.0 and progress to 4.5 according the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Scale.

QUESTIONS

After each paragraph, there is a multiple-choice question that asks students to complete a statement: From this story, you can tell… To choose the correct answer, students will need to determine which information in the story can support their answer.

Pre-printed answer strips can be filled out and used for students to mark down their answers.
