Looking for a no prep New Year reading comprehension activity for your class? Turn this reading comprehension webquest into a writing craft and bulletin board for the ultimate New Year lesson. (Recommended for 2nd, 3rd or 4th grade.)
What is a New Year Reading Comprehension Webquest
Students will go on a webquest (visit a kid-friendly, informational website) to learn about New Year.
Students will then use different reading comprehension graphic organizers to answer questions about the New Year.
Students will fill out a KWL (know, what to know, what I learned) chart, answer 5 W (who, what, where, when, why) questions about the text, write about the main idea and key details, practice using new vocabulary, and then write a summary about what they have learned.
Reading Comprehension – Summary Writing – Bulletin Board
Conclude the project by allowing students to write a summary about what they have learned about the New Year using the key vocabulary you worked on.
Writing about what they are reading is an excellent way for students to show their reading comprehension.
