1st grade nonfiction passage about reading a bar graph: 87 words, five questions, an answer key and vocabulary.
Mia's class looked out the window each day for a month. They wrote down the weather. Some days were sunny. Some days were rainy. A few days were cloudy.
Then they made a bar graph. Each kind of weather got a bar. The taller the bar, the more days it happened.
The sunny bar was the tallest. The rainy bar was short. The cloudy bar was the shortest. Mia could see right away that sun came most often. A graph helps us see numbers in a picture.
