Hello,

I �m looking for a suitable reading activity for a grade 5 or 6, children aged 10-12. What kind of books do you suggest and activities to accomplish the reading?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Would something like this work? http://www.readworks.org/passages/learning-soccer-field

http://www.readworks.org/rw/k-12-passages-evidence-based-question-sets?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=4.8.15%20Evidence

It is from ReadWorks.org , specifically http://www.readworks.org/rw/k-12-passages-evidence-based-question-sets?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=4.8.15%20Evidence

The soccer story is from a 3rd grade level, but might be suitable for older children with a lower reading level than 5th grade.

Registration for the site is free. Each reading comes with comprehension questions.

Hello Morgana!

Nice to hear from you again.

I highly recommend you look at Readworks. It is free and easy to register, they don �t send much "spam", and there �s a large library of great reading activities that are easy to access and are usable.

Cheers,

Douglas

Hi Douglas,

Time managing is very difficult when you have a child aged 2, I �m here daily but I don �t have time to "chat" with the great users we have here. Thanks a lot for the tip.

Lefevre, I also want to thank you for the detailed list. Really useful and it seems that other members also enjoyed it.

Cruiser I have already thanked you yesterday.

Hugs from Portugal.
