Christine P.

These are so well done! The writing was engaging, the passages are paired across two weeks, connecting information for this early-finisher or extension work reading. These are fantastic!

Courtney K.

These were great passages for my students to use for partner reading and finding evidence!

The Right Write Stuff

This has simplified my MTSS block (for Tier I students) so much! I haven't used all of the passages yet, but I love how the comprehension questions are aligned to the standards and repeat each week. A great resource for on-grade-level students to get extra practice.

Sue K.

This resource offers challenging passages and questions and flexibility to use it how you feel would best fit your students. I found many interesting passages to use in class.

Maci M.

This is such a hard skill to teach, but with this product in my back pocket it makes it so much easier to practice!

Thanks, Julio! Xoxo

Robin P.

These are great! Just wondering if you have lexile levels on the passages. Thanks.

Teacher Thrive

Hello! Lexile is a trademarked term that I am not authorize to use. However, all of the passages have been carefully leveled, and they all fall within a fourth-grade reading level.
