Fact Finder’s Challenge
These ‘Fact Finder’s Challenge’ Worksheets include short, age-appropriate non-fiction text passages for students to read and practise their literal comprehension. Students use different coloured pencils to find the facts within the texts to answer the questions. This can be done as a whole class for the teacher to model their thought processes out loud, or it can be completed individually.
Learning goals
