  • Tell how two texts on one topic are alike
  • Tell how they are different
  • Listen to two texts read aloud
  • Draw what is the same and what is different

How to Use This Pack

Read both texts on a page aloud, then each question. Children circle the first animal, the second, or the picture with both. Pages 1 to 3 are the pairs with their questions; page 4 has two circles to draw how polar bears and brown bears are alike and different; pages 5 and 6 are a listen and answer pair: read page 5 aloud, then hand out page 6.

In the Classroom

Read Text 1, then Text 2, then ask "What did both texts tell us?" Let children hold up one finger, two fingers, or both hands for one, the other, or both before they circle.

At Home

Read the two texts on a page together. Ask "How are they the same? How are they different?" and let your child point to the pictures as they answer.

Tips for Success

  • Read the two texts one right after the other
  • Both means the two texts tell it
  • The middle of the circles is for things that are the same
  • Read each question aloud too
