IF YOUR STUDENTS ARE BELOW LEVEL:

This resource covers 2nd & 3rd grade main idea standards. It contains texts that are leveled within the 2nd & 3rd grade text complexity band. If you have below-level students, I recommend reteaching and practicing the 1st grade equivalent standard using 1st grade leveled texts.
