Includes multiple-choice questions about colors, beak shape, prey animals, what adults do after laying eggs, typical lifespan, nesting locations, and dietary type. Adds tasks to judge which animal statements match article information, label facts versus opinions, and mark true/false statements based on the text. Concludes with items identifying expanded forms of underlined contractions.","Guess what, there's a bird that looks majestic and elegant, just like it stepped out of a fairy tale! That's right, we're talking about the heron, a tall and slender bird with a long, pointy beak. These beautiful creatures come in many different colors, from pure white to dark blue, and they have long, thin legs that they use to wade through water. The heron's wings are broad and rounded, allowing it to glide gracefully through the sky.  \nGliding from the sky, they dip their beaks into water and grab a tasty meal. Herons are carnivores, which means they love to eat meat. Their diet mainly consists of fish, but they also enjoy chomping on frogs, small mammals, and even other birds! Their long, sharp beak is perfect for catching and eating their prey.  \nFrom fish-filled waters, let's move to where these fascinating birds choose to live. Herons can be found in wetlands all over the world, from the swamps of Florida to the rivers of Africa. They build their nests high up in trees, safe from predators and close to their food source. These nests can be quite large, often housing several heron chicks at once.  \nSpeaking of chicks, let's take a quick peek into the lifecycle of a heron. After a female heron lays her eggs, both parents take turns sitting on the nest to keep the eggs warm. When the chicks hatch, they're cared for by both parents until they're old enough to leave the nest and fend for themselves. And guess what, these wonderful birds can live up to 15 years in the wild!  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What colors can herons be?  \nA.
