What educators are saying

Great resource to review skills, and definitely got my students in the mood for Halloween. Highly recommend!

Description

Are you looking for engaging and rigor when it comes to your Reading Comprehension Passages and Text Analysis in your upper elementary classroom?

These texts will grab the attention of your students, and they will love digging into the content and finding text based evidence to support their learning.

Here's what other teachers are saying about this resource:

"Finally! A high quality, high interest resource for a skill that there doesn't seem to be a lot of tools out there for. We just recently had a staff meeting about re-vamping our reading instruction with our district's reading specialist and she discussed close reading but didn't have any resources for us to use or draw from. I can't wait to use these in my classroom and tell my colleagues about them!"

- Zach ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I used these Close reading passages in October for my literacy group students. The close read technique helped them break down the questions more easily and with different leveled versions, it fit many different groups in a way to include fun for upper level students."

- Lisa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I love these text, they are perfect for individual work, whole group, or small group. It provides a break of the sometimes boring curriculum. The students really enjoyed the creepy facts. I am not a huge fan of Halloween, but felt these were great!"
