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.

Fantastic Math Tool

This was great to do in small groups with my students, it allowed them to think outside the box. I loved how they would guess and check to try different methods.

A helpful resources with minor drawbacks for some students

I found this to be an excellent resource, however, my students did not refer to this resource as frequently as I would have liked. I think perhaps the reason for that was because it was "too busy" for them. Some of my students had difficulties finding the exact support/information they needed from the entire sheet. *Note: I printed off the already filled in anchor chart for my students to place in their math notebooks. They did not fill in the sketch notes on their own due to time constraints.

Some of my students had difficulties finding the exact support/information they needed from the entire sheet, since there is a lot on one page.
