From the author
This eight-page PDF sample includes a two-page reading passage about horses plus six supporting pages: comprehension questions, a spelling task, a horse-breed research activity, a dice-directed animal drawing, an answer page and creator information.
The questions mix multiple-choice, vocabulary-in-context and short responses. Provide a die for the drawing task and suitable research materials for the breed activity. Other titles and formats linked below are available separately.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Answer literal and inferential comprehension questions about a nonfiction passage.
Determine the meaning of a word (e.g., 'qualified') using context clues from the passage.
Research and write about an animal of personal choice, citing sources used.
Teaching tips
Have students read both passage pages before starting the mixed-question page, since questions 3-6 require pulling specific details and inferences (like the meaning of 'qualified' and how horses show they are happy) directly from the text.
The spelling page's partial-letter clues (e.g., 'doctor for animals' for 'veterinarian') work well as a quick vocabulary review tied to the passage's content.
Use the research-and-write page as a take-home or library extension, since it asks students to choose their own animal and cite outside sources rather than working from the provided passage.
Skills covered
Nonfiction reading comprehension — students answer multiple-choice and short-answer questions drawn from passage details.
Vocabulary in context — students determine the meaning of the word 'qualified' as used in the passage.
Independent research and citation — students research an animal of their choice and record their sources.
