Reading Comprehension Passage with Questions | EOC Prep

I love to have my students think about the importance of being literate and the consequences of struggling to read well. I typically work this lesson in at the beginning of the semester, but it’s something that could be used at any point and with any unit. It would also work well when teaching author's purpose and how we apply the lessons we learn from the reading to our own lives. 

This could also be used as a sub-plan. Everything students need for vocabulary, critical thinking, and test prep are all included! 

I've included an article all about the consequences of being illiterate in our world today. I've also added some startling statistics and history of learning how to read. Students will see 10 multiple choice questions and one constructed response question. I've also added a vocabulary practice and 5 pre-reading questions to get your students thinking about the text as well as their own lives. If you'd prefer a digital version of the text + a self-grading quiz, I've also added that to the packet with the instructions on how to implement Google Quizzes in your classroom.
