America’s 250th Anniversary – Article & Series of TWR Activities

Content Examples

On July 4, 2026, America turns 250 years old. This K–2 resource invites young learners to read an informational article about why we celebrate the Fourth of July, what it means to be a good citizen, and how Americans plan to celebrate this milestone birthday. Students then engage in oral, sentence-, and paragraph-level TWR activities that support comprehension, content learning, and early informational writing. Classroom-ready and easy to implement, this resource pairs accessible civic content with foundational writing practice during a milestone moment in U.S. history. Elementary and secondary versions are also available.
