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.

4th Grade Math Doodle Pages Sketch Notes Guided Note-Taking Year-Long Bundle
J S

Very Useful!

I teach 5th grade but have found that I spend a great deal of time reviewing 4th grade skills students forgot before we can even touch on our grade level concepts. I used most of these pages to help review the skills and made a booklet for the students. I just wish there was a version that did not have page numbers on them so I can put them in the order that supports our grade level curriculum.

Very Useful

I really enjoy this resource and the students are having fun taking notes on it. It covers everything we teach for 5th grade. I just wish there was a version that did not have page numbers on them. I ordered the pages so it follows along with our curriculum and made a booklet for the kids but the numbers already on them don't align to this order.

6th Grade Math Sketch Notes Doodle Pages [Growing Bundle]

Helpful, but has not been added to lately

When can we expect the Decimal Operations doodle pages?

These are so much fun, and look so inviting in the student binders. I really want to keep using them because they are terrific.

Hello, Lauren. This is a growing bundle. The price will increase each time I add more sketch notes. Previous buyers will get all new units that I add for free. The price is based on the current material included in the bundle. Buyers are not promised future materials because this bundle is priced according to current value.

4th Grade Reading Comprehension Passages [Nonfiction & Fiction]

Good for guided work

I bought these for homework for my 4th graders and I think I need to work with them on a couple first to teach them how to answer some of the questions. Some are worded in a confusing way but others are great and hit the standards well. I do like that some of the topics align with our reading program topics but not in the same order which means sometimes I have to cross out questions that relate to a previous one we haven't done yet. Overall though I find it beneficial.
