The differentiation on these passages is great! It really helps to have the passage divided into chunks.

This resource has given my student just enough challenge but still with lots of support when identifying. I love that the multiple-choice questions have two choices that help my students look back and look at the text. This resource has been beneficial for working on IEP goals.

It is a great differentiated resource, but even the lower level is too difficult for my 3rd gradeEL and DL students. If I am back in general education I will definitely come back to these.

I absolutely love these passages and it was so easy to do small groups! My students were all able to learn about the same topic, but in a way that was not too easy or hard for them. I also love how it made me higher ability students work on their sentence writing!

This was a great resource for helping my students understand the main idea. They really enjoyed reading the passages and answering the questions. I felt much more confident in their understanding of main idea after using this resource.

I used this resource at Reading Buddies time. I felt like I was hitting two birds with one stone, because not only were the students practicing reading fluency, they were also improving their text structure and comprehension skills from the questions on the back. It was great to see the students trying so hard to read more words by the 3rd try to up their score. They got really excited when they could and gained lots of confidence to read more. I am very grateful that it cost me so little time to get ready too.

My students enjoyed being pulled in small groups to read these stories to me. They were funny, interesting, and kept them engaged. There was below level options, on level options, above level options, and so much more. This is something I will definitely use in my classroom every year. Thank you so much for this great resource!
