About this resource

A partner redoes your half of the poster without asking. Now what? These anger management reading comprehension passages meet Grade 4 students in the social moments where anger shows up most, across ten passages at F&P levels Q–S. Students look at anger styles, angry thoughts and the line between anger, aggression and being assertive, all part of Self-Management.

What students practice

  • Expressing anger respectfully to classmates
  • Noticing how anger narrows what you pay attention to
  • Untwisting thinking traps like “always and never” and blaming
  • Recognizing simmer, boil and explode anger styles
  • Telling the difference between anger, aggression and assertiveness

Grade fit

By fourth grade, anger often comes up with other people: a sibling who always goes first, a grade that feels unfair, an overdue book announced in front of the line. These two-page reading passages with questions run from level Q to S and add ideas fourth graders can handle, like thinking traps and the feelings under anger.

Digital version

With the interactive digital version, you share one link and students read each passage and answer the questions on any device, with no student logins. At the end they download an answer sheet to hand in.
