Finding Theme in The Hidden Path for Grade 6
A short reading-comprehension worksheet in which 6th graders read a narrative about Leo, who finds a wallet in the park, then identify the story's theme and support it with textual evidence. It builds close-reading, inference, and written-justification skills and is well suited to a 30-45 minute independent or partner block.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a guided-practice or independent activity after you have introduced theme as a message about life, distinct from the topic or plot summary.
- Discussion question: What choice does Leo face, and what does his decision suggest about honesty or integrity?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a short list of theme sentence starters ("The story shows that...") and have students underline one sentence in the text that supports their idea before writing.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to compare this story's theme with a second text they have read and explain how the two authors develop their messages differently.
- Estimated time: about 10 minutes to read the excerpt and 20-30 minutes to answer the theme and evidence questions, plus a brief share-out.
