What educators are saying

Great supplement to our "Weather Disasters" unit. The kids were engaged in the passages and even got some useful information for their research projects.
My students enjoyed learning about this topic and it caused them to think deeply about each reading.

    • Blizzards: Extreme Storms
    • Floods: Dangerous Waters
    • Dust Storms: Black Blizzards

    If you have never used Close Reading or even if you are already a pro, this 62-page packet truly is for you! It has everything you need for a complete, successful informational text reading unit.

    The digital version of each packet includes ready-made, visually-appealing Google slides for you to share with your class. They include interactive drag and drop annotation marks and fillable text dependent activities.

    Each of the 5 passages included in this resource is provided in two differentiated reading levels. One is in the fifth-sixth grade reading range, and the other is in the third-fourth grade reading level range. The reading level is given for each passage, along with a guide that provides specific readability levels. I've taken all the guesswork out of differentiating and leveling of passages for you!

    This packet is both rigorous and Common-Core aligned. Questions have been carefully crafted to move readers from basic, recall questions to higher-level questions where students must cite evidence from the text to support their answers. There are 5 tasks/activities for each passage, moving from easier tasks to more challenging activities. Each passage and its corresponding activities offer a full-week's worth of close reading.
