AI in Context

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 build reading comprehension and technical vocabulary by engaging with a short informational passage about artificial intelligence. As students read closely, they use a provided word bank to fill in missing terms such as machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning, strengthening contextual reasoning, vocabulary recall, and understanding of emerging technology concepts.

Learning Goals

• Informational Reading Comprehension (Grades 4-6) – Students practice close reading to understand explanations of AI concepts.
• Vocabulary in Context – Learners select correct terms based on meaning, sentence structure, and context clues.
• Foundational AI Knowledge – The activity introduces and reinforces core artificial intelligence terminology.
• Contextual Reasoning Skills – Students infer which words best complete scientific and technological explanations.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to make complex AI vocabulary accessible to upper elementary learners.
• Structured Word Bank Support – Scaffolds understanding while still requiring careful reading and reasoning.
• Cross-Curricular Learning – Integrates English Language Arts with science, technology, and computer science concepts.
• Flexible Use – Suitable for technology units, reading instruction, independent practice, or review activities.

This printable worksheet helps students strengthen vocabulary retention and comprehension by applying AI terms directly within meaningful text. By reading closely and filling in context-based blanks, learners build confidence with academic language, improve reading accuracy, and develop a clearer understanding of how artificial intelligence works. It is a no-prep resource that works well in both classroom and homeschool settings focused on literacy and emerging technology awareness.
