Description:
These passages invite readers into a quiet, reflective narrative where small discoveries grow into moments of understanding. Set within a nature-connected context familiar to students in Northern Alberta, this passage encourages learners to notice, infer, and interpret details as they unfold over time.
Designed as part of the Rooted in Reading, Growing in Understanding series, this passage provides teachers with a consistent structure for formative literacy assessment. Students encounter:
-
🪶 Word Nest – six contextual vocabulary words that deepen comprehension
-
🪶 Feathered Inquiries – five skill-aligned multiple-choice comprehension questions
-
🪶 Muddy Musings – a reflective writing extension that builds personal connection and expressive thought
The accompanying Teacher Key includes an answer guide, skill alignment chart, and a 4-point rubric to support observation and feedback.
