Each year, it seems that my students need significant reading comprehension practice, above and beyond our standards. They also need a lot of practice in nonfiction reading comprehension. I created this “Christmas Reading Comprehension Activity” to meet this need.
About the Christmas Reading Comprehension Passages and Questions
*Included in this resource are 12 nonfiction passages (paragraph length) each with details on how a different country celebrates the Christmas season (or other related winter holidays).
*The texts are short and NOT meant to be a thorough text on each country. Instead, they provide a few facts and interesting details to engage students (and make them curious to learn more). Click here for a resource that includes longer, more detailed passages.
*With each passage are 4 comprehension questions that can be answered using the text.
*The texts in this resource are short, but rigorous. They are written at the top of the lexile range for 4th and 5th graders.
*The reading comprehension questions can be answered using the information in the text. ***The reading comprehension questions in this set are not meant to trick or challenge students.

Reading Comprehension Practice: TWO Options for Use
Option 1: Around the Room Activity (recommended) – Get your students moving and reading by taping the texts and questions around the room.
Option 2: Regular Printable Version – I have also included a regular printable version of the passages and questions (one passage and set of questions per page) as another option.
