These print and go, no-prep worksheets are perfect for increasing skills in comprehending and understanding non-fiction texts in speech therapy sessions! So many SLPs loved my original non-fiction texts resource and wanted MORE! Here is a huge expansion pack to that original resource!
These printables teach several language-based reading comprehension strategies including previewing the text for important information prior to reading, breaking the text up into smaller sections, answering comprehension questions, identifying the main idea (in a scaffolded, supported way!), and then summarizing the text. In addition, each page includes 4 key vocabulary words from the text so they’re a great way to target vocabulary words in context!
This resource includes 50 non-fiction text worksheets (plus a couple of bonus visuals and simple activities).
All of the worksheets include editable text boxes so that you can type directly on the worksheet on a computer in addition to Google Slides™️! In addition, the entire packet is black and white for easy printing.

I bought the original non-fiction texts resource last year and used it up so fast with my language groups. This expansion pack has 50 more worksheets and they’re just as good. I especially like the scaffolded main idea section and the vocabulary words pulled from the actual text. It makes targeting comprehension and vocabulary together really efficient.
