About this worksheet
Combining information from sources asks students to synthesize details instead of choosing one source and ignoring the other asks fifth graders to read closely, connect ideas across sentences, and choose evidence rather than a familiar-sounding answer. Students may copy a fact from Source A even when Source B adds a limit, contrast, or extra evidence needed for the best conclusion. This worksheet uses compact passages and source pairs so students must return to the words on the page before answering. Students compare source details, identify agreements and differences, synthesize a claim, and decide which evidence from both sources belongs together. Support versions use more direct wording. Standard and challenge versions add closer choices, longer evidence, or a second source to compare. Ask your child to point to the line, feature, or reason that proves the answer. If a choice sounds reasonable but cannot be proved from the text, it is not the best reading answer.
What your child will learn
Compare two sources
Synthesize details
Use source evidence
Notice agreements and differences
Worked example
A bridge survey and a traffic count together can show that a quick repair helps now but a wider bridge meets growing use.
Common mistake
Using only one source when the question asks for combined information.
Helpful hint
Use one useful detail from each source before choosing the answer.
