Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students identify explicit facts from a short informational passage about a holiday's purpose and customs.

  • Students answer literal recall questions in complete written responses.

Teaching tips

  • Use the two activity pages as a paired activity: assign the blank page for independent work, then use the answered page to self-check or lead a class review.

  • Pair this brief passage with a Father's Day card-writing or drawing activity, since the reading and question set alone take only a few minutes.

Skills covered

  • Literal reading comprehension — students answer five factual recall questions (why, when, what, how) about a short informational passage.

  • Holiday-context reading — students read simple explanatory text about the purpose and customs of a real-world holiday.
