Teaching guide

Choose a grade and check the reading level

Use the grade links above when the reading level is your starting point. The collections run from 1st grade worksheets through 8th grade worksheets. Broader levels, including Middle School, give you another way to explore the library. Check the level shown on each passage before choosing it for your class.

An activity format and a reading level answer different questions. Two students can work on the same skill with different texts. Preview the passage, think about the support students will need, and choose one activity for the lesson. Organizer templates can support several grades; word games use a suggested challenge.

Match a reading or writing activity to your lesson

For a vocabulary lesson, use vocabulary worksheets to match passage words to meanings and complete sentences. Use context clues worksheets when students need to work out meaning from nearby text. Ask them to point to the clue and explain how it helped. These activities give you different ways to work with word meaning.

Sentence editing focuses on capitalization and punctuation. Writing prompts extend a passage with a written response. Choose main idea or summarizing for focused reading practice. For a complete text with comprehension questions, open the reading passages library, then choose an activity that fits your goal.

Choose an organizer for the thinking students need to do

A compare and contrast worksheet uses a Venn diagram for differences and shared features. A KWL chart records what students know, wonder and learn. A story map helps plan characters, setting and events. Choose the layout that gives students a useful place to put their ideas.

For a sequence of events or steps, try a timeline. For a creative response, explore comic strips or letter writing. Model one entry before students begin. They can use the organizer to plan a paragraph, prepare for discussion or revisit a topic. Open More organizers & writing templates above to see the other formats.

Use pictures and word games for another kind of practice

Picture activities ask students to name, label or sort illustrated vocabulary. Word games offer another way to revisit topic words: choose a word search, word scramble or crossword, then check the available challenge. Match the activity to the words your class is learning. After a word game, ask students to choose two words and explain how they connect to the topic. This adds a short language task to the puzzle.

Illustrated worksheets, comics to finish and magazine pages combine pictures with topic activities. Open a collection, choose a topic or passage, and review its page before printing. You can also browse all worksheets to combine grade and activity filters. Available print options and access requirements appear on the material page.
