help develop confident readers who can demonstrate their skills on standardized tests Each passage

is a high-interest nonfiction text that fits one of the five topic areas: Interesting Places and Events, Scientifically Speaking, From the Past, Did You Know?, and Fascinating People Each of these five topic areas has 30 passages, for a total of 150 passages Each passage, as well as its corresponding multiple-choice assessment questions, is provided on one page

Comprehension Questions

The questions in Daily Warm-Ups: Nonfiction Reading assess all levels of comprehension, from basic recall to critical thinking The questions are based on fundamental reading skills found in scope-and-sequence charts across the nation:

The texts have a 2.0–3.0 grade level based on the Flesch-Kincaid Readability

Formula This formula, built into Microsoft Word®, determines readability by

calculating the number of words, syllables, and sentences Multisyllabic

words tend to skew the grade level, making it appear higher than it actually is

Refer to the Leveling Chart on page 174 for the approximate grade level of

each passage

In some cases, there are words necessary to a passage that increase its grade

level In those cases, the passage’s grade level is followed by an asterisk in

the chart This means that in determining the grade level, the difficult words

were factored in, resulting in the increased level shown before the asterisk

Upon the removal of these words, the passage received a grade level within

the appropriate range For example, in the passage, “When Seconds Count,” the grade level is 3.4 This

is because the word “firefighters” is repeated several times Once this word is removed, the grade level

is within range

Including Standards and Benchmarks

The passages and comprehension questions throughout this book correlate with McREL (Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning) Standards Known as a “Compendium of Standards and

Benchmarks,” this resource is well researched It includes standards and benchmarks that represent a consolidation of national and state standards in several content areas for grades K–12 (See page 6 for the specific McREL Standards and Benchmarks that correspond with this book.) These standards can be

aligned to the Common Core Standards To do so, please visit www.mcrel.org.

Initial group practice is essential Read aloud the first passage in each of the five topic areas and do its related questions with the whole class Depending upon the needs of your class, you may choose to

do the first three passages in each topic area as a whole class Some teachers like to use five days in a row to model the reading and question-answering process at the start of the year Model pre-reading the questions, reading the text, highlighting information that refers to the comprehension questions, and eliminating answers that are obviously incorrect You may also want to model referring back to the text

to ensure the answers selected are the best ones

Student Practice Ideas

With Daily Warm-Ups: Nonfiction Reading you can choose to do whole-class or independent practice For example, you can use the passages and questions for the following:

Whichever method you choose for using the book, it’s a good idea to practice as a class how to read

a passage and respond to the comprehension questions In this way, you can demonstrate your own thought processes by “thinking aloud” to figure out an answer Essentially, this means that you tell your students your thoughts as they come to you

Record Keeping

In the sun image at the bottom, right-hand corner of each warm-up page, there is a place for you (or for students) to write the number of questions answered correctly This will give consistency to scored pages Use the Tracking Sheet on page 175 to record which warm-up exercises you have given to your students Or distribute copies of the sheet for students to keep their own records Use the certificate on page 176 as you see fit; for example, you can use the certificate as a reward for students who complete a certain amount of warm-up exercises

How to Make the Most of This Book
