8th Grade Paired Texts Worksheets
Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
Paired texts set two passages side by side so students can compare how each one tells a story or uses evidence. There are 6 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. A Myth of Kind Hosts, Then and Now pairs a Greek myth with a modern story, How Starlings Came to America sets a popular story beside newer research, and Two Races, Two Lessons pairs fables from Aesop and the Cherokee. The sheets practice RI.8.9, RL.8.5 and RL.8.9.
