Text Messages - Reading Comprehension - Life Skills - GOOGLE - Functional Skills

With this DIGITAL activity, students will read a variety of text message threads and answer comprehension questions about them. Each of the scenarios outlined in the examples is based on real-world encounters students might experience themselves one day. There are a total of 10 different text message threads included with your purchase. Each text thread has 5 corresponding comprehension questions with it. That is a total of FIFTY questions for your students to answer!

This activity is specifically formatted to be used with Google Drive and is compatible with Google Classroom. Google Drive is an amazing resource that many educators are now using as an interface to support 1:1 digital instruction in the classroom. I pair it up with Google Classroom (a free website) that allows me to digitally send each student in my class a copy of the worksheets that they later submit to me for grading. With this lesson, students get to type their answers directly onto the digital worksheet. It is an amazing paper-free process and the kids LOVE working on these worksheets on the computer.

The text messages are realistic, age-appropriate, and contain real world content that students can relate to. This is an excellent activity to promote functional reading skills and practice comprehension in a manner that is highly motivating for students as well.
