Reading comprehension is one of the most important skills students develop, but it’s also one of the hardest to teach effectively.
Many students can read a passage, but they struggle to explain their thinking, identify key ideas, or support answers with evidence.
That’s where structured reading response activities can make a big difference.

These prompts help students move beyond basic answers and start thinking more deeply about what they read.
