Study Strategies LITERACY · 6TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Good study strategies share one feature: they make retrieval effortful. Self-quizzing, explaining a topic aloud to someone else, and writing a summary from memory all force you to reconstruct rather than recognise, and reconstruction is what strengthens memory. Interleaving different topics in one session is harder and produces better long-term recall than blocking one topic at a time, even though it feels worse while doing it. Elaboration — asking why something is true and how it connects to what you already know — outperforms repetition, because memory is organised by meaning. The strategies that feel easiest, highlighting and rereading, are the weakest, and that mismatch between how studying feels and how well it works is the single most useful thing to know about it. Questions: 1 What feature do good study strategies share? 2 Why is interleaving better despite feeling worse? 3 What is the most useful thing to know about studying? www.littleactivity.com 6th Grade · Literacy

Animals LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Woof! Max the dog just learned a new trick—he can catch a frisbee mid-air! Dogs love to run, play fetch, and splash in puddles. When Max is happy, his whole body wiggles and his tail goes thump-thump-thump. Did you know some dogs have jobs? They help firefighters find people and guide friends who cannot see. Max may be goofy, but dogs are pretty amazing! Questions: 1 What new trick did Max learn? 2 How does Max show he is happy? 3 Name one job a dog can do. www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
Weather LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Boom! Thunder rumbles across the sky like a giant drum. Lightning flashes—one-Mississippi, two-Mississippi—the closer the count, the nearer the storm! On sunny days, puddles shrink because the Sun drinks them up into the sky. That water becomes fluffy clouds, and when clouds get too heavy—splish-splash—rain falls back down. Sometimes after a storm, you get the best prize: a rainbow stretching across the sky! Questions: 1 How can you tell if a storm is close or far away? 2 What happens to puddles on a sunny day? 3 What might you see after a rainstorm? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
Community LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. A community is a group of people who live or work in the same place. Your neighbourhood is a community, and so is your school. In a community, people depend on each other: a farmer grows food, a driver brings it to the shop, and a shopkeeper sells it. People in a community share places like parks and libraries. When people help each other, the community is a better place to live. Questions: 1 What is a community? 2 How do a farmer, a driver, and a shopkeeper depend on each other? 3 Name two places a community shares. www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
Adventure LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Close your eyes and imagine: you are in a tiny submarine, sinking deeper and deeper into the ocean. It is getting darker... darker... then—FLASH! A fish with its own built-in flashlight swims by! Down in the deep ocean, jellyfish glow like lamps and giant squid have eyes as big as dinner plates. An adventure can happen anywhere—under the sea, in your backyard digging for bugs, or even inside a really good book. All you need is curiosity and the magic words: "I wonder what happens if..." Questions: 1 What surprising things live in the deep ocean? 2 Where are three places you can have an adventure? 3 What magic words start an adventure? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
Nature LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Nature is everything that grows and lives without people making it. Trees, birds, rivers, and insects are all part of nature. Even in a city, nature is there: weeds push up through the pavement and pigeons nest on ledges. Watching one small patch closely for a few minutes shows more than walking past a whole park. The best tools for studying nature are your eyes, your ears, and patience. Questions: 1 What is nature? 2 Where can you find nature in a city? 3 What are the best tools for studying nature? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
Sports LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Sports are games that use your body and often a team. Rules keep a game fair so everyone has the same chance. Warming up first helps your muscles get ready and helps you avoid getting hurt. Playing fairly and being kind when you win or lose is called good sportsmanship. Questions: 1 What do rules do in a game? 2 Why should you warm up first? 3 What is good sportsmanship? www.littleactivity.com Kindergarten · Literacy
