Informational Text Playlists - Complete Grade 5 Bundle

This resource bundle aligns with all of the Common Core State Standards for Grade 5 Reading: Informational Text. We have combined nine of our playlists—content-rich tools that use trusted textual, audio, visual, and multimedia resources to supplement high-quality instruction in specific elements of the Common Core—to guide students through each of the relevant standards for this strand of English Language Arts. Each playlist is designed for 30–45 minutes of instructional time and is followed by a rigorous self-check for students. Alternatively you could assign individual student playlists as homework or remedial/extension activities.

The Student Editions include:
• Links to instructional videos, audio, or texts
• Links to practice quizzes or activities
• 9 assessments that include 30 multiple choice, 1 yes/no, 1 fill-in-the-blank, 1 matching, and 2 true/false questions
• Definitions of key terms related to each of the standards

• Excerpts from several high-quality texts, including passages about: Helen Keller, NASA and space exploration, Mayan civilization, coral reefs, holidays, Benjamin Franklin, caves, American history, inventors, Frederick Douglass, and the North Pole
