English Language Arts Lesson - Identify Basic Similarities and Differences Between Two Texts on the Same Topic, Kindergarten

  • Activity 1 / Towns and Cities

  • Activity 2 / Cities Worksheet

    Cities look very different than towns do, but children don't often have any reference point for anything different than where they live. This social studies PDF shows your child that cities have certain attributes like traffic, business people and skyscrapers, while suburbs and rural areas don't. Using the colorful imagery, they'll choose which pictures represent cities, and have picture reinforcement to refer to when they're thinking about the differences in cities and towns.

  • Activity 3 / Cities: Finding Similarities Worksheet

    Information comes to our children in various ways, and sometimes that can confuse them when text is delivered differently. This worksheet is a great way to show them that text can be presented in different ways and still have similar information as they may be used to in paragraph form. They'll look at the two different presentations of information, and then refer back to the texts to find the similarities in each. They'll compare the information and begin looking at reading comprehension with critical thinking skills.

  • Activity 4 / Cities: Finding Differences Worksheet

    Critically thinking when we're reading is an important part of reading comprehension. Information is often delivered in different text formats, and it's important for new readers to be able to pull important information out of various text layouts. This free worksheet teaches your child about the things they may find in cities, and also has them looking for critical differences in story format and picture format.

We love how we can focus on math with this app. It is engaging and we love how we are able to adjust and tailor the levels according to our son’s knowledge and skill levels!

Daughter's favorite
Still a top favorite for our 7 year old. She loves earning her stars as she learns to trace letters and numbers. Coloring and the sounds are engaging and are on target for her age group and being Pre K.
