Use this close reading comprehension resource as a guided reading text for grades 3 to 5. It’s great for small groups or in intervention circles with students who are below grade level. Use it for ESL and special education classes that focus on reading comprehension and reading interventions.
The text provides information that teaches students about volcanoes. They’ll read and answer comprehension questions about the different types of volcanoes, how many active volcanoes in the world, the difference between magma and lava, and other fun facts!
It’s an excellent one-to-one tool for reading support. Students first read a question and then go to the text to find the answer. You’ll love how the visuals easily keep their focus on the topic, giving them a frame of reference while they read. The student booklet is great for small groups, too. It also works online!

✅ The text is beautifully wrapped in visuals that support the topic, making reading not only easy but memorable. Comprehension is helped by the graphical elements on the page as your students use the text to look up information about volcanoes based on a set of guiding questions. The large main image anchors the topic in the reader’s mind while the smaller pictures and graphics provide support which help make comprehension a whole lot easier.
✅ Tailored to the needs of emergent readers in grades 3 to 5, this visual text offers an accessible avenue for emerging bilinguals to explore information about Volcanoes. With a focus on language acquisition and comprehension, the text empowers emerging bilinguals to develop their reading skills while gaining a deeper understanding of the topic.
✅ The text is presented inside of a 5-page student booklet, which comes in a single PDF, so printing is easy. It starts with a beautiful cover page showing an image of a Volcano. As students open the book, they’ll immediate see a ‘ready to read’ page that gives them advice for preparing to read effectively. Then, there is the information page with text and visual elements, a page with text-dependent questions with spaces for writing answers, and an answer page for responding to the extension tasks.
The best part? The student book comes in 3 different versions: high resolution color, gray-scale, AND digital for distance learning.
✅ Do you have a mixed group of ESL learners? This emergent reader resource was designed to be used with a mixed class who require different levels of instruction. The comprehension questions help students who are at a lower-level understand the text, while the extension tasks challenge higher-level learners to read, learn, and apply what they learned.
