Responsibilities of the Three Branches Reading Packet

The Responsibilities of the Three Branches Reading Packet is an engaging social studies resource that teaches 3rd grade students about the three branches of the U.S. federal government. Students will read an informative passage explaining the roles and responsibilities of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The passage is written at a 7th-8th grade reading level to challenge students' literacy skills. After reading, students will apply key vocabulary terms and demonstrate understanding by completing supporting worksheets like multiple choice questions and graphic organizers. This packet works well for whole class instruction, small group work, or independent practice. Answer keys are included, making this 3-5 day activity a teacher-friendly resource that requires no prep work to implement. Students will enjoy learning about government through this reading-based approach.
