How it works!
Give your students the two reading skills practice pages with the
mystery page separate. Your students will then read two short
excerpts and answer questions 1-8.
Once your students answer the questions they will then color all
the numbers on their mystery picture page based on their answer
choice.
Example: After answering question 1 the reader got the answer
choice D. They then color all the number 1’s on their mystery
picture Green.
Key: A-Black B-Blue C-Yellow D-Green
Once they have answered all the questions correctly and colored
in all the numbers on their page the mystery picture will be
revealed.
*The answer key includes the reading skill and the new 2017 adopted TEKS.
