About A Text

Worksheet Description

The “Writing About a Text” Sentence Frames worksheet is a tool for guiding students through the process of reflecting on and responding to a reading passage. It provides sentence starters such as “This text is about,” “Reading this text reminded me,” and “The author thinks,” prompting students to articulate their understanding and reactions to the text. These starters help structure students’ thoughts and encourage them to engage with the material on different levels, including summarization, analysis, and personal connection. Space is provided for students to complete these sentences, allowing them to construct detailed responses.

This worksheet is designed to teach students critical reading and writing skills. It guides them in identifying key ideas within a text, interpreting the author’s message, and drawing inferences from the content. The activity also encourages students to reflect on what they have learned and how it relates to their own experiences or knowledge. Additionally, this practice supports the development of academic writing, as students learn to support their statements with evidence from the text and articulate their own insights clearly.
