Use these articles as a resource when researching and writing about animals. Read the article, look at a variety of web sites, and watch a couple of videos to gather all our facts about the animal. Once students have the facts, sort the facts into categories and then write a research report.
This article works well with my Informational Writing Tools packet that scaffolds expository/informational writing about animals from researching facts to writing paragraphs.
The articles are written at about a second/third grade reading level and are controlled for sentence length and complexity.

A great addition to our studies on habitats and animals. These are very informational and a “one-stop shop” for learning about various animals in various habitats. Thank you!

I have purchased several of these animal bundles. I love them all! My students use many of the pages in these bundles to acquire info when writing their animal reports!

This is a fantastic resource. I used it while teaching summer school. I used the primary information to create GLAD pictorials and chants to help my students that couldn't read at this level.

QR codes with an audio version would be helpful for struggling readers but the additional resources are helpful for students to easily access more information. Students were engaged with the information and excited to learn more about ocean animals!
