Description
Assess students' real-world functional reading and comprehension of medium length event, program, transportation, travel, and schedule passages, and other texts in daily life, work, and community settings. Medium refers to the length of the text, meaning passages are between 1 sentence to 1 paragraph in length. Gather valuable data about the real-life functional reading and comprehension skills through age-appropriate and realistic graphics for middle school, high school, and transition-age teens and young adults. *Questions are automatically read aloud. _ Text Examples: → Flyers regarding community events → Event schedules (ex- conference) → Reserving transportation on a Rideshare app → Airport signage → Transportation platform timing boards (ex- incoming train time estimates) → and more! Students will practice functional reading through: → Using context to anticipate the meaning of the text → Text meaning → Finding a specific text in a graphic with lots of other text (signs, etc.) → Matching two different texts with the same meaning → and more! This deck pairs best with the Experiences Text (Medium). Functional Reading Comprehension Lesson Unit on TeachersPayTeachers.
