By Exceptional Education CA

Birthday Gift Reading Comprehension Package: Engaging Worksheets for Grades 2-3 and Special Education

Boost your students' reading comprehension skills with this versatile, engaging, and easy-to-differentiate resource!

Perfect for grade 2-3 students, as well as special education classrooms, this Birthday Gift Reading Comprehension Package includes a variety of worksheets that target essential skills like answering WH questions, sequencing, and cloze activities, all while accommodating students with varying abilities.

What’s Inside This Comprehensive Package?

This package features three activity types that target different aspects of reading comprehension, with carefully designed levels of support to help your students progress step-by-step:

  1. WH Question Worksheets
    Help your students improve their ability to locate answers to WH questions (who, what, when, where, why, and how) in a text. This activity includes:
  • 3 levels of worksheets for each set of questions:

    • Level 1: Highlight prompts and multiple-choice answers
    • Level 2: Highlight prompts with written answers
    • Level 3: No prompts, students provide written answers independently
  1. Cloze Worksheets
    Perfect for practicing vocabulary and understanding context clues. These worksheets come in 3 levels:
  • Level 1: Highlighted words with a word bank for students to complete
  • Level 2: Word bank provided, no highlights
  • Level 3: No prompts, students fill in the blanks independently
  1. Story Sequencing Worksheets
    Build your students' understanding of story structure and sequencing. This activity includes 4 levels:
  • Level 1: Guided with sentence order and highlight prompts
  • Level 2: Sentence order given, no highlights
  • Level 3: Highlighted text, no sentence order provided
  • Level 4: No highlights or sentence order – students complete independently

Why You’ll Love This Resource:

  • Differentiated Learning: With 3-4 levels for each activity, you can easily adapt this resource to meet the needs of students at various skill levels. Whether you’re working with advanced readers or students who need extra support, this resource provides the flexibility to ensure every student is engaged and challenged.
  • Ideal for Diverse Classrooms: This package is perfect for older struggling readers, special education students, and ESL learners, thanks to the scaffolded support and visually engaging design.
  • Builds Confidence Gradually: As students move through the levels of each activity, they will gain the confidence to work independently. The gradual reduction of support helps them develop critical reading and comprehension skills at their own pace.

Perfect for:

  • Teachers of Grades 2-3 who need engaging and easy-to-use reading comprehension activities.
  • Special Education and ESL Classrooms where students need targeted practice with visual prompts and scaffolding.
  • Parents and Tutors seeking fun, educational worksheets to support their child’s reading comprehension development.

  • 3-4 levels per activity for easy differentiation
  • Scaffolding and support gradually reduce as students progress
  • Answer Key for each worksheet
  • Perfect for struggling readers, ESL students, and special education classrooms
  • Visually engaging and age-appropriate content for older elementary students
