Compare and Contrast: Increasing Critical Thinking Skills in Young Readers
One of the best things you can do for your students when teaching your compare and contrast unit is to incorporate a wide variety of resources and activities !
Like many other teachers, one of my favorite ways to practice comparing and contrasting used to be by using graphic organizers , both digital and paper, but I also love helping teachers introduce new activities and teaching methods in their classrooms!
The purpose behind learning how to compare and contrast is to increase critical thinking skills and create well-rounded readers who can organize their thoughts, look at different ideas and viewpoints in a multitude of ways , and become confident decision-makers.
I want to show you a few different ways you can teach comparing and contrasting not only using books and passages but with a variety of real-world applications, as well!
Compare & contrast activities for students
Compare and contrast for google classroom.
This digital resource is perfect for introducing compare and contrast in your classroom and addresses the Common Core standards within 2nd-4th grade!
The resource includes drag-and-drop activities that focus on keywords and understanding compare and contrast vocabulary , short answer questions that incorporate reading passages , as well as Venn diagrams and t-charts to be completed with various topics to compare and contrast.
The topics are super simple to help introduce the concept to your students – dog and cat, hot dog and donut, books, characters, and even the student and teacher!
I have also included a blank and editable diamond Venn diagram, t-chart, and circle Venn diagram for you to choose your own topics or stories you’d like your students to compare and contrast!
I always loved having multiple graphic organizers available in case I could decide on the go if I wanted my students to compare and contrast in small groups, with a partner, individually, or all 3!
Practice makes perfect – snag it here !
Compare and Contrast Interactive Notebook
This interactive notebook is a combination of vocabulary sorting activities, given scenarios and objects to identify similarities and differences , as well as blank Venn diagrams to compare and contrast characters or events from your own text!
I definitely find kids’ critical thinking skills are broadened when they are expected to compare and contrast something from their own reading , which is why I love including blank venn diagrams in these resources!
One of my favorite activities in this notebook is the Key Word Sort Chart. It’s super important that your students know the keywords that signify comparison or contrast. It will help them immensely while they read!
There are answer keys included, 3 levels of differentiation , and is also compatible with Easel , making it possible to be converted to an interactive online resource if you prefer digital! 🙂
You can find it here !
Compare and Contrast Digital Mystery Pixel
If you’ve never tried a digital mystery pixel before , you’ve GOT to get your hands on one !
In this resource, you’ll get 5 different compare and contrast digital mystery pixels containing 5 reading passages with 4 questions each . Every question that a student answers correctly displays a mystery picture to gradually appear!
The topics of these passages range anywhere from seasons and holidays to food and adventures !
Every pixel is self-grading and requires no prep on your part.
You can preview the resource on this page here !
Not sure if a digital mystery pixel is for you? Make sure to sign up below to get a FREE reading comprehension digital mystery pixel sent right to your inbox!
Book Reports
I honestly don’t necessarily love calling this activity a “book report.”
I think students hear that and they think they are totally old school.
But, little do they know that there are so many stories out there that provide amazing lessons, morals, and strong characters to resonate with.
When you’re first beginning comparing and contrasting and looking for keywords , start with fairy tales or short stories that your students are super familiar with.
Then, gradually move to chapter books and texts that will create discussion within the class.
You can also do this with movies as well as authors !
As a class, read 2 books by the same author.
Compare and contrast the characters, plot, setting, etc.
I also loved doing this with a series. It’s super cool for students to see how a character evolves throughout a series , or even just from one story to another!
Here are few series your students may enjoy reading to compare and contrast the characters and events from book to book (Amazon Affiliate links below!)
- Junie B. Jones
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid
- Magic Treehouse
- Captain Underpants
- Geronimo Stilton
- The Boxcar Children
- A to Z Mysteries
- The Babysitter’s Club
- Amelia Bedelia
Expository and/or Persuasive Writing
I will always stand by my opinion in saying that better writers, make better readers!
Once your students have built a foundation of compare and contrast , you can build upon those skills by incorporating expository or persuasive writing.
You can always assign each student a topic, but I always believe if you’re looking for a students’ best work, let them choose their own!
They could choose to write about animals – comparing and contrasting different breeds but of the same animal or habitats of amphibians versus reptiles.
They could also write persuasively and compare and contrast owning a dog as a pet versus owning a cat.
Of course to make it a compare and contrast lesson, they must include similarities and differences , but it’s okay to have their opinion shine through. 🙂
Cross-Curricular Research
Comparing and contrasting is so easy to do with any subject area.
This can definitely tie into the writing activity , but consider incorporating different subjects for students to compare and contrast.
For example, maybe you have a student super interested in physical education.
Have them research running versus weight training. How do the exercises compare? How does it differ? And they can learn more about the benefits of each.
You could also incorporate geography.
Comparing and contrasting areas with mountain ranges versus beaches . Is the weather the same at all? What kinds of vegetation is there?
The whole idea behind comparing and contrasting is to take in as much information as possible .
The more we practice this with our students, the better critical thinkers and well-rounded individuals we will produce! 🙂
I encourage you to get creative with your compare and contrast unit!
Build a foundation with any or all of the resources I’ve provided you with here, and then you can start exploring with the literature, writing, and research activities! Enjoy!

9 Comparing and Contrasting Activity Ideas for the Upper Elementary Classroom
1. Have Students Write a Compare and Contrast Essay / Paragraph
An essay can be a daunting task at first, so start your students off small! Have them start off by writing a sentence or a paragraph that compares and contrasts 2 things before doing a full blown essay. Providing scaffolding for a compare and contrast essay helps your students be able to do this successfully.
Get tips and paragraphs frames to help students successful write a compare and contrast paragraph or essay here.
2. Have a Snowball Fight - A Fun Compare and Contrast Activity
You might have seen snowball fights being used as a brain break or reward activity in your classroom, but they can also be used for learning! This is fun way to engage your students during a comparing and contrasting lesson.
Download a free compare and contrast snowball fight activity here, or check out these tips for preparing and creating your own educational snowball fights.
3. Use the Four Corners Strategy
If you are looking for a more controlled, less chaotic version of the snowball fight, then the Four Corners Game is what you want! It's a fun activity that gets kids moving while comparing and contrasting.
Find instructions and an example of using the Four Corners strategy in your compare and contrast lessons here.
4. Use A Scaffolded Venn Diagram
Venn Diagrams are our go to when comparing and contrasting, but sometimes the open ended-ness of blank Venn Diagrams limits higher level thinking. Use scaffolded Venn Diagrams to teach 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students how to think more critically when filling out Venn Diagrams.
Find out more about how to use scaffolded Venn Diagrams in your upper elementary classroom, or download a free reading passage with a scaffolded Venn Diagram activity.
Need some no prep figurative language practice? These worksheets include engaging poems with figurative language along with questions, activities, a student reference chart, and more. And as an added bonus, the worksheets walk students through the process of creating their own short poems with figurative language.
This resource is great for Poetry Month!
5. Use Tables or Charts to Compare and Contrast
We tend to lean on Venn Diagram graphic organizers when teaching comparing and contrasting, but students will encounter tables and charts much more often in the real world.
Teaching students how to create tables designed to compare and contrast requires high level thinking and will help them be able to read and interpret tables much more easily.
Check out these tips for using tables and charts in your compare and contrast unit here.
6. Have Students Create and Justify Rankings
When we rank or put things in a specific order based on certain qualifications, we are really comparing and contrasting. This type of ranking activity can be integrated into your classroom activities very easily with no prep.
For example, you can easily ask your students to write down the last 5 books you have read as a class in order from their favorite to their least favorite. Then, have students explain their reasoning. They will automatically be comparing and contrasting the books they have read in their head.
Check out these no prep ideas on how to use rankings in your reading, science, and social studies lessons here.
7. Have Students Compare and Contrast Using Visual Online Tools
In our increasingly visual society, the ability to communicate information using visuals will become increasingly important. Giving students opportunities now to experiment with this will benefit them in the long run.
Check out these 5 online tools students can use to create visuals that compare and contrast.
8. Use "Would You Rather" Questions
"Would You Rather" questions force students to choose between 2 options - and they automatically compare and contrast while thinking about their two choices. By creating thoughtful questions and asking students to defend their answers, your students will compare and contrast without even realizing it!
Find example "Would You Rather" questions to help students compare and contrast fiction texts and nonfiction texts here.
You might also like these higher order thinking questions for teaching different reading skills.

love this website
Thank you for this kind of site. it really aids me in my tutorial class. God bless you workers of this site!
Compare and Contrast is a text structure or pattern of organization where the similarities and differences of two or more things are explored. It is important to remember that with the compare and contrast text structure the text should be discussing similarities and differences. If the text only discusses similarities, it is only comparing. Likewise, if it only discusses ways that the things are different, it is only contrasting. The text must do both to be considered compare and contrast.
Hmm… That sounds familiar.
This website helped me study for my Common assessment in school. Thanks!
I cannot get through a lesson plan without adding something from this website! Thank you so much!
Exactly what I was hoping for. 😀 Please come back again. Best wishes!
Patti Manus
