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 (Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo). 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.

Great way to start the day
I have used the math spiral in other grades and it has been so helpful. Switching grades this year I decided to try the grammar spiral, and some of the questions can be tricky to answer. I use this as morning work and a math warm-up
Great resource!
This was a great comprehensive resource for teaching my third graders about using commas and quotations in dialogue. The only thing I would add is what to do when there is already existing punctuation in the dialogue. Otherwise, fantastic resource!
A helpful resource
This was a helpful resource while teaching Morphology but I wished it had more than just words and definitions.
I like it, but there is no combined option
The material itself is great, but it is frustrating for students to click multiple links to answer all the questions, and even more frustrating for the teacher to grade. I wish all of the material for each section could be assigned on the same Google Form.
Very creative resource
This is a very creative resource. It's not exactly what I was looking for or hoping for as a 3rd grade teacher, but definitely has some good examples.
