Reading Comprehension Passages and Questions Bundle – 130 Close Reading Passages

Description

Dig deeply into the text for comprehension and close reading practice with these high-interest, standards-based reading passages written by a published nonfiction children’s author.

Each of these 130 passages is presented at two reading levels (3/4 and 4/5). The Show What You Know, text-dependent questions are identical for both reading levels. This allows you to discuss the passages altogether, even if you have differentiated the reading levels. Note that some questions may be challenging for third grade students, especially near the start of the year.

Paired Passages Plus: Close Reading Comprehension with Questions
Fall Comprehension and Close Reading Passages with Text Dependent Questions
Winter Close Reading and Comprehension Passages with Text-Dependent Questions
