Description
Students become experts at finding text evidence with these 17 comprehension passages about primates and woodland animals. Students read the selections and identify answers in the text by highlighting or underlining the answers in the text passage. Students then compose written answers to text-based questions.
Text Evidence Mastery Made Simple! Students identify text evidence and confidently answer text-based questions. These thought-provoking passages and questions will set students up for success.
You receive:
- Nonfiction primates passages (printable and digital). Primates include marmosets, capuchin monkeys, proboscis monkeys, tarsiers, golden snub-nosed monkeys, and orangutans.
