About This Product

If you want to give students extra practice with comprehension skills, I have just the resource for you!

 

What You Get:

This is a Character Comparison Activity that was designed for upper elementary students who have learning or are reviewing this skill. This resource is a 4-page printable.

 

How To Implement This Resource:

You will print off enough copies for each student to have. Students will read the 3-page story titled “The Puffed Up Pig.” Because this is a comprehension activity, it’ll be most beneficial to allow students to read this story more than once. You might choose to begin by reading it as a whole group. For a second read, you can have students read it with a partner or in a small group. For a final read, have students read the story independently.

 

When students have finished reading, they will select 2 characters from the story that they want to compare. They will write similarities and differences for the characters and draw a sketch to represent each one.

 

I hope you enjoy!
