Each issue of Storyworks offers a variety of skills sheets. Many are available on two levels for differentiated learning.

Our multiple-choice quizzes, modeled after standardized assessments, familiarize students with the structure and language of state test questions. Also available as a self-scoring Google form, these quizzes help you track comprehension—and save time.

These questions guide students through thinking deeply and analytically about our stories, while also giving them opportunities  to practice writing short responses and personal reflections.

These activities support and guide students in honing specific ELA skills, from finding the main idea to identifying text structures, connecting texts, analyzing characters and plot, and more!

Our enriching vocabulary activities reinforce challenging terms students encounter in a story and help them expand  their vocabularies.

From graphic organizers for summarizing to scaffolded activities for writing sentences, paragraphs, and essays, our ready-to-use writing activities help students develop their writing skills in response to what they are reading. Our engaging writing contests also help students practice core writing skills while strengthening  their unique voice and motivating them to write for an audience. 

These interactive activities clearly explain a grammar skill—such as capitalization, punctuation, and sentence structure—then guide students through practicing the skill in context, using stories they’ve just read. Our special Grammar Hub also provides multiple activities for honing a variety of grammar skills. 

Our vast library of evergreen graphic organizers and activities can be used with any Storyworks text to build the comprehension skills students need to become strong, analytical readers and writers.
