Celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s important contributions to civil rights during Black History Month or on Martin Luther King Day (MLK Day) in January with these DIFFERENTIATED non-fiction reading passages / informational texts with comprehension questions, cloze procedure tasks, vocabulary grid puzzle and homophones worksheet (there, their, they’re). These resources are designed for upper Primary (Upper KS2 - Years 5 and 6 and equivalents) or early Secondary (KS3 - Year 7 and equivalents). These Martin Luther King themed close reading tasks and other ELA activities are in a printable non-editable PDF file with over 20 pages. Both UK and US spelling / grammar versions of all resources are included within the Zip file. Also available in this money-saving January Reading Comprehensions BUNDLE.
All activities are provided at 2 levels of challenge, so will suit a range of year groups and provide appropriate levels of challenge for different abilities within many classes.
I am designing these non-fiction comprehension and activities packets to provide a variety of interesting and relevant texts and related activities, a time-saving bank of flexible themed tasks linked to dates throughout the year. They feature specially written very short texts (about 250 - 300 words). Each pack is linked to a particular month but of course you can use them whenever you want! Each provides comprehension questions, a cloze procedure task and other linked tasks. The other tasks are on aspects of spelling, vocabulary, punctuation, grammar, writing or reading (this varies across the different packs). Build all activities into your Literacy or English programme, or use for cover lessons, homework, early finisher tasks or for those busy times when you just need something low-prep, meaningful, relevant and engaging at the last minute!
