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.

Good resource
I really like the pacing of this unit. There are many great components. I changed the slides presentation animation/transition a bit. Some of the worksheets are a little difficult to grade.
Great for ADV
Used this with my ADV kiddos to push them to think further into the plot of the novel.
It's Great!
The notes are wonderful, and I love the slideshow that completes it with them. However, the answer is incorrect for the mixed number. The denominator should be 12, not 17. Can you fix this? Other than that, it is a great resource for review after the students come back from summer break.
Helpful resource
I really enjoyed the activity that goes with it. I could have used one or two more activities that go along with this!
A helpful resource
This resource is helpful to review previously learned skills for my 4th grade students. It also helps me determine which skills I need to reteach.
