Free 7th Grade Biography Reading Passages

Grade 7 biography passages give students practice reading nonfiction through real life stories. PicoBuddy offers 7th grade biography reading passages for middle school readers who are building stronger comprehension, vocabulary and evidence-based thinking.

Every PicoBuddy passage includes comprehension questions, an online quiz, a free PDF download and an editable Word download. Teachers can print the PDF, assign the quiz online or edit the Word version for a lesson or reading group. The same passages can support homework, homeschool reading, tutoring and intervention.

Seventh graders can use biography passages to practice central idea, sequence, cause and effect, inference, vocabulary in context, summarizing and text evidence. They can also think about how time period, environment, obstacles and decisions shaped a person’s life.

Biography topics can connect to science, history, literature, art, sports, technology and civic themes. Students can read about people who invented, explored, created, led, competed, wrote, discovered or challenged the world around them.
