Ages 11-12 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Paired texts are two readings on the same topic that students compare, such as a story and an article or two opposing arguments. These paired text worksheets hold 11 sheets for 6th grade, each with an answer key. The Titanic in Story and Fact pairs historical fiction with a nonfiction article, Two Myths About the Sun pairs a Greek myth with an Inuit tale, and Two Views on Zoos sets two arguments side by side. The sheets practice RL.6.9 and RI.6.9.
