38 Reading Comprehension Activities For 5th Graders: Resources, Ideas, And Examples

February 20, 2024 //  by  Nicole Muir

There are many ways to strengthen your students’ literacy skills. Reading comprehension is a vital skill that applies to many components of being a reader and literate person.

Reading comprehension will allow your students to understand the information they are reading, which goes beyond reading the passages fluently.

Understanding the information in the text passages they are reading will allow them to answer questions about the text more accurately.

They will also be able to use evidence from the text to support opinions and summarize the information, among other skills.

Check out these 38 reading activities below that help support your 5th grade students as they strengthen their reading comprehension skills.

1. Bloom Balls

This 3D activity will really make learning come to life as your students learn about reading comprehension. This activity can be used in a variety of different ways. You could write about the main character or your classes’ opinions, as just a few examples. You can even include a creative writing prompt or comprehension questions that relate to the text.

This volcano is a fun graphic, that students can relate to, that can be customized.

This is especially fun to work through with fiction stories that are written at a fifth-grade reading level.

4. Wanted Poster

This activity is especially fun because it takes a different approach to most literary activities. Most literary activities focus heavily on the protagonist or hero of the story whereas this assignment allows students to write a blurb about the antagonist or villain after reading the 5th grade reading passage or a different level entirely depending on their level of reading.

5. Make a Timeline

Your students can make a timeline using their fictional or nonfictional pieces of text. Depending on their reading level, they can use pictures or words.

6. Anticipation Guide

This printable reading activity is very helpful when students are working on their prediction and inferring skills.

Independent reading is a qualification in the fifth grade. Independent reading helps not only build student comprehension but also a comprehensive vocabulary. Blurb work will help students to choose and understand books just by reading “blurbs”.

22. Sticky Notes and W Questions

I honestly have met very few fifth graders who aren’t excited about sticky notes. Most of my kiddos almost reach a new level of excitement when it comes to sticky notes. This is a great idea for answering different  W  questions after reading.

23. Reading Workshop Checklist

If you’re a teacher, you have a pretty good understanding of the importance of smoothly running reading workshops. If they’re not smooth, they’re chaos. Giving students strong direction will give them the space and confidence to work independently.

What does cause mean?

What does effect mean?

What does cause and effect mean?

Cause and Effect Keyword Flashcards

Here are some interactive keyword flashcards that can help you identify where you might find information about the cause and effect in a text. Flip the flashcard and get an example sentence using each signal word.

Sally woke up late. Therefore she missed the school bus.

Billy had such a funny personality that everyone always laughed with him.

She whispered because she didn't want the teacher to hear.

Read the following nonfiction passage a few times by clicking the right arrow and then scroll down to take the checkpoint quiz. As you're reading, think about the cause and effect of the relationship between the Sun, Earth, and Moon.

The Earth, Sun, and Moon are the three space objects that impact our lives the most. The Earth is the planet we live on, the planet under your feet right now. Therefore, without the Earth, we wouldn't have anywhere to live. The Sun is a star that warms our planet and gives us heat and light. So, it is very powerful. Earth's Moon creates tides and makes Earth more livable.

The Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. If the Earth was thrown off its orbit, the Sun's gravity could cause the Earth to fly straight toward the burning Sun; luckily, the Moon’s gravity pulls on the Earth and keeps us safe and in orbit.

The Earth is around 383,400 km from the Moon, and the Sun is around 147 million km from Earth. Though they are different distances, they look the same size in the sky. This is because the Sun is around 109 times bigger than the Earth.

Because they appear to be the same size, the Sun, Earth, and Moon work together to create eclipses. So, we get a solar eclipse whenever the Moon is directly between Earth and the Sun, causing all of the sun’s light to be blocked by the Moon. When the Earth moves between the Moon and Sun, the Earth's shadow darkens the surface of the Moon, so much so that we get a lunar eclipse. The Moon will often turn a dark shade of red due to the change in sunlight.

Reading Comprehension Cause and Effect Question Quiz

Read through the comprehension passages and try out the quiz. Got a question wrong? Don't worry. Just press reset, and the question will start over.

Select the appropriate cause from the following effects.

The planet is warm, and humans are able to see. What is the cause?

Choose the best answer from the choices below

The Earth orbiting the Sun.

The Sun giving off light and heat.

The Moon pulling on the earth.

The earth remains safely in orbit. What is the cause?

The Moon pulling on the Earth.

The Sun creating heat.

The seasons changing.

A lunar eclipse is in progress. What is the cause?

The Moon blocking the Sun’s light.

The Earth's shadow darkens the surface of the Moon.

The Earth being around 383,400 km from the Moon.

The Moon is directly between Earth and the Sun, causing all of the Sun’s light to be blocked. What is the effect?

A solar eclipse takes place.

A lunar eclipse takes place.

The text around unknown words can hint at their meaning, even when the word is unfamiliar. In this 5th-grade reading comprehension worksheet, students will practice identifying the meaning of new words to build their vocabularies using context clues in the text. Scroll down for the interactive reading comprehension multiple-choice quiz questions based on the texts.

What are context clues?

As you’re reading the following passages, pay attention to the words in bold and the context clues that help you understand the meaning.

Read the following passages a few times by clicking the right arrow and then scroll down to take the checkpoint quiz.

Sophie's dad moved his head and beckoned her to come and talk with him.

The student council decided to organize a debate over whether they should have to wear school uniforms or not.

A small movement of the head or hand to call someone over or signal someone.

Figurative language makes stories, texts, and sentences way more interesting. When working on reading comprehension for 5th graders- students need to understand how devices like metaphors and similes give context and depth to what they read.

Scroll down for the comprehension multiple-choice questions quiz based on the text.

Flip the flashcard to discover the meaning.

What are similes?

Similes compare two things using the words "as" or "like." They are a creative way to compare. For example, "life is like a box of candy."

What are metaphors?

Metaphors can be short or extended, and instead of using "like" or "as," writers find other artistic ways to describe and compare two things. For example, " You are my sunshine" is a metaphor.

What are idioms?

An idiom is a type of metaphor or simile that people use to describe something. They are often cultural and contextual, depending on where you are. For example, " under the weather" means the person feels sick or off.

Here are some short passages. As you’re reading, think about what type of figurative language the author uses.

Passage One

Sandra isn't coming to school today. She feels a little under the weather, so we'll keep her home. Let us know if she has any schoolwork to do.

School marm.

I assigned a nonfiction passage and test and posted it to Google Classroom through this site. How do I retrieve the scores? Thanks!

I do not store any student data due to COPPA regulations.

I am loving these online test so fun

Sometimes on the iPad the online versions of the worksheets freeze. Is there something I can do? I’m having my daughter work on the inference one specifically right now. Thank you

I will look into it…

tabletpc.news

clues climber and Super Grammar Ninja, could you recommend similar games or activities for practicing context clues and grammar? Thank you!

Leslie Sammarco

What a gold mine! Thank you so much for creating and sharing this!

Question: Is there a way to print answer keys to the context clue vocabulary worksheets? Or are they only available to view?

If you try PRINTING the page, I think they format pretty nicely. Let me know what you think.

Dominica Brandon

Can I find past scores from quizes?

No, no student data is stored on this site.

Thanks so much for all your hard work. We are not supplied adequate curriculum in our school, so are always having to hunt down the best ways to teach different concepts. Your materials are rigorous, but also easy to understand. Thanks again!

5th Grade Reading Comprehension Worksheets

The 5th grade reading comprehension activities below are coordinated with the 5th grade spelling words curriculum on a week-to-week basis, so both can be used together as part of a comprehensive program, or each can be used separately. The worksheets include fifth grade appropriate reading passages and related questions. Each worksheet (as well as the spelling words ) also includes a cross-curricular focus on earth science, physical science, history, social sciences, or life sciences. This allows students to build their reading comprehension skills and reinforce knowledge in other subject areas. There are 36 weeks of fifth grade worksheets, following most standard school year calendars.

Please Note: Revised worksheets were recently posted (March 2012) after discovering a few errors. We’re sorry about the inconvenience. K12reader.com relies on teachers and parents to help improve the quality of worksheets. Please contact us here if you notice any inaccuracies. Thank you!
