Here's a great reading comprehension packet that gives a great overview from the Native Americans to the early colonial development in North America. The readings and content are appropriate for grades 5-12 and include comprehension and critical thinking questions. These can be used as classwork or homework reading exercises. The six topics include: Early Native Americans, Columbian Exchange, Early Settlements, New England, Middle and Southern Colonies. It also includes activities to access their prior knowledge, a separate answer sheet, a main idea and supporting details sheet and a sheet for students to take organized notes.
See other reading packets that will soon be available in my store (Causes of the Revolution, Revolution to Constitution, Westward Expansion and Causes of Civil War)
