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.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How is the answer page different from the student page?

The answer page repeats the identical passage and all five questions, with each answer written directly beneath its question, so it functions as a self-contained solutions page rather than a separate answer document.
