Spider informational article that includes vocabulary cards and comprehension activities.
This Spider Informational Article and Comprehension Activities includes an article about the spiders in two formats (two-page color photos & one-page text), website resources for online articles and videos about spiders, a fact sort sheet where students can sort facts about spiders, a variety of note-taking sheets, comprehension activities, and mini-report pages.
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.

- Vocabulary Cards with key terms from the reading passage
- Vocabulary Activities – matching with and without photos & Frayer Model
