FRIDAY GRADE: COMPREHENSION SKILL: GUIDED LESSON PRACTICE READING CENTERS MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY Sample Packet Contents • Sample Core Comprehension Passage • Digital Guided Reader • Sample Task Cards Answer Questions Name: _______________________________ Date: ________________ 560L The Playground Bully “Recess is in just five minutes!” said Tamia. “Oh boy. I hope Mrs. Trish has indoor recess today,” sighed Trayton. “Are you crazy? It’s a beautiful day!” exclaimed Tamia. “Jayden in Mr. Farrow’s class has been chasing me and threatening to beat me up every day. I’m scared to go out there again,” explained Trayton. Five minutes later the recess bell rang. Trayton dreadfully dragged his feet in line for recess. He knew Jayden would be outside waiting for him. As the class excitedly ran to the swings and monkey bars, Trayton quietly ducked behind a bush. “Hopefully Jayden won’t find me here,” Trayton thought to himself. Soon after, Trayton felt a shove from behind. He toppled over into the dirt. “Ouch!” Trayton screamed. © Julie Bochese Answer Questions He turned around to see Jayden standing behind him, laughing at him. “Stop it!” Trayton said firmly to Jayden, “That hurt!” Jayden continued to laugh and point at Trayton. Trayton could feel tears well up in his eyes. Suddenly Tamia sprinted over to the two boys. “What’s going on over here?” she questioned, out of breath. “Jayden is being a bully,” Trayton explained, “He pushed me and I was just telling him that he needed to LEAVE ME ALONE.” Tamia looked sternly at Jayden. “He said STOP!” Tamia stated firmly to Jayden, “I suggest you listen.” In an instant, the three children were surrounded by ten other second graders. They all began chiming in. They told Jayden to stop being a bully. Jayden’s face turned red. He stammered, “I was just playing around.” “Bullying is NOT playing around,” Trayton explained with confidence. “No one would play with me…,” complained Jayden. “If you’re looking for friends to play with, we will be happy to play with you. But we don’t push, chase, or bully,” explained Trayton. Jayden looked down at the ground. “I’m sorry,” Jayden stuttered. “It won’t happen again.” “Let’s go play Freeze Tag!” suggested Tamia. “Sounds like fun!” All the other children screamed as they began running to the field. Trayton grabbed Jayden’s hand to lead him towards the game that was beginning. © Julie Bochese Answer Questions Answer the following Questions. Underline the text evidence in the color indicated.
