Reading Comprehension Passages Vol.1: Famous Afro-Latinos

Black History Month got me to thinking about the role of Afro-Latinos in our country's - or world's - history. I thought it would great to study a different person every day for a week, but I had so much trouble trying to find educational materials on this topic. 

So what did I have to do? Create my own, of course.

Reading Comprehension Passages Vol 1: Famous Afro-Latinos is designed for advanced readers in grades 3rd - 6th. It includes one-page reading passages about seven Afro-Latinos, including:

• Celia CruzSammy Davis, Jr.
• Soledad O'Brien
• Roberto Clemente
• Martina Arroyo
• Pelé
• Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez

There's also a set of reading comprehension boosting worksheets that require children to carefully read the text to find the answers. Answer keys are included for busy teachers. 

And guess what! TpT is having a site-wide sale in honor of teachers! You can get up to 28% off select products including ALL of my teaching materials, like the new one mentioned above.
