Pledge of Allegiance Reading Packet

The Pledge of Allegiance Reading Packet teaches 5th grade students about the history behind the United States Pledge of Allegiance. Students read an informative passage explaining the origins of the Pledge and key vocabulary terms related to patriotism. Next, students demonstrate comprehension through multiple choice questions and graphic organizers focused on the passage. Thispacket works well for social studies or ELA classes in whole group, small group, or independent work settings. Assessment is easy with included answer keys. Rather than a dry textbook explanation, students will enjoy learning about what the Pledge means and why we recite this important oath. This packet is a no-prep resource that educators can print and use to build knowledge on this relevant piece of US history.
