"Mia's Family" — Reading Passage & Comprehension

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to read along with a simple illustrated passage naming all eight family words.
• Students will be able to answer basic yes/no comprehension questions about details from the story.
• Students will be able to identify a described family member from a set of pictures and count the people in a family.

How to Use This Resource

• Read the passage aloud as a class first, pointing to each picture and word.
• Have students echo-read or choral-read the passage a second time.
• Move to the comprehension page and read each question aloud before students answer.
• Check answers together or with the included answer key.

Classroom Activity Ideas

• After reading, ask students to draw one member of Mia's family from the description alone, then compare drawings as a class before revealing the picture in the passage.

Differentiation

Extension: ask capable students to retell one line of the story in their own words, changing one detail (for example, a different describing word

Assessment

The comprehension page can be collected and checked against the answer key as a formative reading-comprehension check.

Teacher Tips

Read the passage together at least twice before the comprehension page — the questions rely on specific details (who is tall, who is little, who likes to garden) that are easy to miss on a single read-through at this level.
