Spring Reading Passages - Finding Text Evidence plus Digital Resources

Grab these spring reading activities and kick spring fever to the curb! These spring reading passages will get your students to USE the text and PROVE their answers! Included in this reading intervention pack for comprehension and fluency are 44 text-based evidence passages with 22 high-interest topics covered. 

Each topic includes a nonfiction informational passage AND a related fiction passage so that you can provide paired passages and help students make connections across both genres.

Print and Google Slides version included! Each passage has been converted to Google Slides and is INTERACTIVE with MOVEABLE clip art and highlight strips!

With each interactive spring reading passage, students will read the passage three times for fluency. They keep track of the amount of times they read the passage (optional). The consistent format of the passages guide your students through the process of looking back into the text to support their comprehension and understanding with text-based evidence. 

Students will have a blast using their crayons to highlight and look for evidence with these spring reading activities!

Students will practice responding to the text through a Read and Respond activity. These response questions cover many big comprehension areas such as author’s purpose, inference, visualizing, questioning, identifying the main/central idea, compare and contrast, making connections, and more!

⭐️ What’s Included: 

• 44 Spring Reading Passages 
• A PDF which has instructions, ideas, suggestions, and printable passages
• A link in the PDF that allows you add the passages to your Google Slides™ and share them with your students (via Google Classroom™ or another secure platform that you use for distance learning with your students)

➡️ HOW CAN I SHARE THESE WITH MY STUDENTS FOR DISTANCE LEARNING?

• Copy the specific passage that you need and share it with your students.

• Create a folder or topic in your Google Classroom™ and allow students/parents to access the passages they would like to work on for choice (This option is nice if you are using the passages as supplemental/optional/extra at-home work.)

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This resource is just what I needed. My student's ability to find the text evidence to support their answer really grew throughout the year thanks to this resource.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My students love using these passages in guided reading - this is great for identifying text evidence and having students practice that skill. ”
