3rd Grade Reading Response: Compare Two Sources

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: comparing how two sources explain the same topic

1

Read two short sources about the same topic.

2

Write one fact both sources share.

3

Record one detail found only in source A.

4

Record one detail found only in source B.

5

Circle which source uses a diagram, photo, or heading.

6

Tell an adult which source helped you learn one fact and why.

Grown-up guide
  1. Use two short, reliable age-appropriate sources with a genuinely shared topic.
  2. Preview headings and visual features before asking for comparisons.
  3. Require the child to return to both sources when a detail is uncertain.
