Description
This close reading and fluency resource is designed to be used with students in grades 4-8 and provides many options for differentiation. This resource includes 2 different nonfiction passages (Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking). Each passage is written at 3 different reading levels (approximate grades 4-5, 6-7, and 7-8).
There are also 3 different reading response sheets with text-dependent questions for each passage. Each of the 3 reading response sheets is based on a specific Common Core Reading Domain: Key Ideas and Details, Craft and Structure, and Integrating Knowledge and Ideas. These reading response sheets are also differentiated! I have created two levels (A and B): Level A is based on the Common Core Standards for grades 4-5, and Level B is based on the Common Core Standards for grades 6-8.
In addition to the leveled passages and Reading Response Sheets, this resource also includes a fluency component. Each of the leveled close reading passages have been formatted into fluency passages that can be used with your students who struggle with reading expression and word recognition. These passages afford your students the valuable practice of repeated readings and progress monitoring.

My students had a lot of trouble with the amount of work in the spiral review
Great Resource
This resource is great for students who do not have learning difficulties . There was not enough space to write and not enough practice and repetition for students with learning difficulties.
It did not have enough support for students with learning difficulties. There wasn't enough space to write on the graphic organizers and they needed more specific support.
The groupings of the words was nice, but some of the answer choices were too difficult for most students because the answere choices were so similar. It was sometimes hard to explain why one answer was correct when another one fit.

Hi! Do you have copies of the Student Resources (Steps for Close Reading & Annotations for Close Reading) in a file somewhere? I see them in the example for Student Resources but do not have copies of the actual pages to make copies of. Thank you!
Oops! Somehow those pages were deleted. I have added them back. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Will you perhaps someday include all your close readings into a "Bundle"?
Hi Debbie! I don’t have plans to bundle these resources at the moment. Thank you for your interest.
