From icy canals to maple treats, this capital city has stories in every season!
Take your readers on a journey to Canada’s capital city, where historic towers, frozen canals, and maple treats create the perfect setting for building reading skills. From exploring famous landmarks to learning about national celebrations, this comprehension pack offers rich, structured practice for developing readers.
With three carefully differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, and Stretch), learners progress from early reading skills such as retrieval and sequencing to deeper thinking through vocabulary, inference, and consideration of the author’s intent. Each version is designed to build confidence and extend understanding. A simple traffic light self-assessment helps students reflect on their learning.
Across all levels, children will meet Ottawa’s iconic Parliament Hill and Rideau Canal, discover local foods like poutine and maple syrup treats, and find out how people celebrate Canada Day. They will also explore Ottawa’s weather, language, and role as the capital of Canada.
What’s included:
- Three differentiated reading texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
- Targeted comprehension questions with varied formats
- Black-and-white printable format
- Answer key with skill tags for every question
- Traffic light self-assessment to encourage reflection
Bring Ottawa to life in your classroom, no passport required!
