You've been reading amazing stories and cool facts in class. Now, it's time to show off your skills in the PIRLS activity.
You will be given a booklet or a tablet with interesting things to read. There are two main types of reading you will do.
You will read a story. It might be an adventure, a mystery, or a tale about friendship.
You will read an article or document to learn something new. It might be about animals, history, or science.
You will see a question and 4 possible answers (A, B, C, D). You just have to click or circle the one that fits best. It's like finding the right puzzle piece!
Sometimes, you will need to write the answer in your own words. Don't panic! Usually, just one or two sentences describing what you read is perfect.
Try these magic tools to get ready!
Pick a topic, get a short story & question!

Get sleep and eat a healthy breakfast so your brain has energy.
If you don't know a word, just read the sentence around it to guess.
