How to Use This Pack

Pages 1 to 4 each hold two short texts on one animal and four questions: children circle Text 1, Text 2 or both. Page 5 works with any two texts: write their titles, then write what each tells and what both tell in the two circles.

In the Classroom

Read Text 1 and Text 2 aloud with the class, then have partners read them again. For each question, ask children to put a finger on the sentence that tells them. A "both" answer needs a finger in each text.

At Home

Read both texts together. Ask your child what one text tells that the other does not, and what both tell.

Tips for Success

  • Read both texts before the questions
  • Both means each text tells it
  • Point to the words that tell you
  • What both texts tell goes in the middle

Compare Two Texts for 1st Grade

1

Pairs of short texts on one animal, frogs, bats, dogs and foxes, written with words a 1st grader can read. Children read both texts, tell which one says what or whether both do, and write how two texts are the same and different.
