Written comprehension: answering questions from comprehension passages
Let’s Begin:
Imagine we’re investigators, unraveling the mysteries hidden within passages! 🕵️♀️✨ Today, we’ll learn how to read comprehension passages about food additives, food adulteration, and food safety.
The Food:
Food is something we all interact with daily. Let’s practice with a passage about food additives:
Passage: “Food additives are substances added to food to enhance taste, color, or preservation. Some additives are natural, like salt and sugar. Others are synthetic, created in labs.”
Comprehension Question:
What are food additives used for, and can you give examples of natural and synthetic additives?
Spotting Structural Words and Verbs:
Structural words, like “and,” “because,” and “but,” help us understand connections in a sentence. Verbs are action words. Let’s practice identifying them:
Passage: “Food adulteration is when harmful substances are added to food intentionally. This can have serious health consequences.”
Question:
Find the structural word and the verb in the sentence about food adulteration.
Answering Questions:
Let’s read a passage about food safety and answer a question based on it:
Passage: “Washing your hands before cooking is crucial for food safety. It prevents the spread of germs.”
Comprehension Question:
Why is washing hands before cooking important for food safety?
Evaluation and Questions:
What’s the difference between natural and synthetic food additives? Why do you think food safety is important?
