What educators are saying

Great for paired/small group work. The passages are generally intersting for students and this is a really clear way to teach the skill.
My students used these in stations. It was great because the passages are short and a variety of genres. They were able to work together to decide on the correct answer, genre, and author's purpose.

Description

Twelve high-interest paired paragraphs, each with one question that requires a high level of thinking to complete. You will receive:

-24 high interest paired passages (2 per page)

-12 questions, each requiring the reader to make text to text connections

-answer recording sheets

-answer keys

The set is provided in both color (for use in learning stations) and black and white (for student reproducibles). Six of the paired passages are presented in the free downloadable preview.

Use these short passages to teach text connections. Then, use them subsequently for:

-genre study investigations

-author’s purpose investigations

All paired passages are original (except for three poems from the public domain) and written on engaging, high-interest topics for students such as the Trail of Tears, Mount Fuji, and dung beetles. Use one or two for a short review, or use all 24 in a more extended lesson.

These paired passages are perfect for whole group, small group, learning stations, scoot activities, or one to one instruction. Questions are rigorous and use tons of academic vocabulary. They are great to prepare for the state reading tests.

Check out the free preview for a complete list of titles and genres. I hope you enjoy this Top 100 Product!
