    Description

    Get all the nonfiction reading passages you need in one bundle! You'll be able to teach nonfiction text features and text structure on a middle school level - plus learn about lots of fun springtime topics - with these high-interest reading passages and reading activities.

    This nonfiction bundle includes the following resources:

    • Spring Text Structure Passages (plus digital)
    • Spring Text Features Passages (plus digital)


    You'll get five passages (plus accompanying activities) to teach the five main text structures, as well as five passages (plus comprehension worksheets) to teach text features. These nonfiction activities are the perfect way to teach and practice tons of middle school reading skills!

    Both resources include digital Google Slides versions that students can complete online! (links in each product's PDF)

    Here's what's included:

    • 5 text structure reading passages
    • 5 text structure graphic organizers
    • 5 pages of text structure comprehension questions
    • 1 page of text structure lesson ideas
    • 5 text feature reading passages
    • 5 text feature comprehension worksheets
    • Notes pages for text structure and text features, great for notes or whole-class review
    • Answer keys for all graphic organizers and reading questions
    • a Google Slides version of all student pages

    Teaching these nonfiction reading skills well can be challenging, since you really have to read and analyze several full-length passages to get an idea of how the text structures and text features each contribute to the author's purpose and main idea. These engaging articles and higher-level-thinking activities make it easy - and super low-prep!

    I hope your students enjoy learning about the spring season while they practice nonfiction reading skills!

    Answer keys are included for all worksheets.
