Skills & Standards

Aligned to the Alberta framework, these Grade 5 ELA worksheets target speaking and listening behaviors students need for comprehension and communication. Students practice crosscutting concepts such as communication as a system (structure, audience, and purpose) and organization as a tool for meaning. You’ll see disciplinary core ideas in presentation of knowledge and ideas and in listening and speaking skills. Each worksheet includes opportunities for modeling how to respond, analytical reasoning about what to say next, and evidence-based explanations drawn from what was heard or read.

Perfect For

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

Use this lesson bundle across 5 multi-day sessions (about one worksheet per day or every other day) with brief teacher modeling at the start of each session. For centers, rotate students through listening, planning, and responding stations, then complete the clarifying-and-responding sheet as a wrap-up. For assessment preparation, have students reread discussion norms and use the organized delivery worksheet to rehearse a short response, then record their final answers on the same day.
