Are you looking for space nonfiction reading comprehension passages and questions? A Comprehension Quest® is a FUN escape room style activity and is a unique way to get students excited about practicing reading comprehension!
☄️Here's how it works:☄️
Starting off with the hook video, students learn they have a quest to complete. In this edition, students must find an astronaut who is lost in space. Students will read 6 passages and complete standards-aligned reader response activities. After each passage & response page, they will earn a clue that will get them one step closer to solving the quest.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My students loved using this resource! Excellent accompaniment to our space unit. Engaging for students regardless of ability level thanks to the differentiated pages. Would definitely recommend.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My students enjoyed this because they were focused on getting the clues and not that they were doing work. I like the differentiated graphic organizers that were included.
FAQ:
How much time do I need for a Comprehension Quest?
I always tell teachers it takes however much time you would allow your students to spend on 6 reading passages. BUT, if you are short on time, you can use fewer passages and just give students more of the clues after each passage. The only rule about the clues is that they have to be given in order.
