Students read the hilarious passages then answer who, what, when, where, & why questions designed to test comprehension. Each of the 75 funny passages focusses on one of the Five W questions at a time.

Each task card is written in the form of a "newspaper article." The laugh-out-loud stories are about a fictional town called Bovine City. Whacky characters and obscure events happen in the town and are reported in the Bovine City News.

These high-interest/low readability task cards can be used with individuals or small groups to help improve comprehension skills. Simply download, print, cut, and play! These will be a favorite with reluctant and struggling readers as well as those performing on grade level.
