Each resource includes a one-page nonfiction reading passage telling the story of how the holiday got started and how it has changed over time, a page of comprehension questions, a graphic organizer, and a page of writing prompts. (Answer keys are included for the questions and graphic organizers.) You and your students will learn fascinating facts about the civil rights movement, George Washington's birthday, how slavery ended in the United States, why many states no longer recognize Columbus Day, why Veterans Day is on November 11, and more!
Learning the stories behind these beloved American holidays will make those days off school much more meaningful for your students - and there's nothing like an engaging reading passage to get them practicing skills like inference, sequencing, supporting details, and cause and effect.
These holiday reading passages are the perfect way to fill gaps in your lesson plans before a holiday weekend, make connections between reading and social studies, or just add a dose of interesting reading to your lessons. They also make excellent no-prep sub plans!
I hope you love this bundle! As always, your feedback is appreciated!
