Free 7th Grade Informational Reading Passages

Grade 7 informational reading passages give students practice with nonfiction texts that explain, compare and organize ideas. PicoBuddy offers 7th grade informational passages for middle school readers who need to build 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 also support homework, homeschool reading, tutoring and intervention.

Seventh graders can use informational texts to practice central idea, text structure, vocabulary in context, summarizing, comparing viewpoints, analyzing details and using text evidence. These skills help students read across subjects with more independence.

Topics can include science, history, current events, technology, geography, health, animals, culture and real-world issues. This gives students a reason to read while still practicing important comprehension skills.
