What educators are saying

Love this resource and such a great way to front load the unit on plants; reinforce learning by sending as homework, morning work.
This was a great resource especially that it was geared to difference reading levels. I used this resource during my reading centers, so it was great when I had the different students with me. Thank you!

Description

The Life Cycle of a Plant: 3 Differentiated Reading Passages & accompanying activities will ask students to fill in the blank, match pictures to key vocabulary terms, label the events of the life cycle, and write about the life cycle using transition words. This activity would be great to introduce a unit on life cycles, but is generic enough to end the unit about the life cycle of a plant! Geared toward Second Grade Georgia Science Standards but not specific. Guided Reading Level Approximations: K, M, P

Going deeper into nonfiction texts is essential to student mastery of common core standards. Want ways to integrate social studies and science content into your nonfiction instruction, while differentiating for the needs of all learners? Look no further than these Life Cycle of a Plant differentiated reading passages and comprehension questions. If your classroom is like mine, there are readers all over the spectrum, yet it is vital that all students understand these important concepts. I've created the passage on three different reading levels to make differentiation much easier. I've leveled each passage with a symbol for high (square), mid (triangle), and low (circle) so that you can differentiate easily without students knowing. There are also open-ended questions to go along with the passages. Answer keys are provided. Perfect for guided reading small group instruction or literacy center stations.

$Why should I purchase this passage set?$

• Textbooks aren't what they used to be...if we have them at all. Often textbooks are written well above grade level and simply aren't interested. I use my love of history to make passages engaging and informative for all levels of readers!

• Teach across the curriculum! Show your administration how you integrate and differentiate by implementing during guided reading groups, center time, or in a regular social studies block

• Perfect for last minute print & go sub plans, morning work, & homework

• In my own classroom, they are often used at the end of a unit for review, as study guides, and even test prep

• Have students with accommodations? Instantly assess them at THEIR LEVEL while meeting IEP goals!

How Does This Resource Make Me A Better Teacher?

• Your time is precious & the standards are plentiful

By integrating across content whenever possible, you save time and your students see connections across the curriculum!

• Differentiated Instruction is no longer optional-it is a must! There is no one-size-fits-all classroom. These passages are an easy way to check that off of your never-ending teacher to-do list!

• Reach your entire class with the same quality content. Each student in your class deserves a fair chance at the content. Let their passion for science and social studies thrive, regardless of their reading ability. While passages appear very similar, I can assure you hours of researching and writing have occurred on my behalf to ensure that each level is appropriate for your learners.
