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.

This resource has a lot of great activities in it but has low student engagement and took a whole to take up, assist students etc.
Great resource!
It was great!
Good resource
One of the things that I really enjoyed about this resource were the variety of options. Because there were a few different worksheets to choose from, it was very easy to differentiate the learning without increasing the amount of teacher prep time. On the other hand, I would have liked some more interactive tools for practicing making sentences. My class is 90% ELLs, and some of the wording in this was a bit difficult for them. Unsure about native English speakers, but I would have thought some parts were too complicated for third graders. It's a great resource for introducing complex sentences, but you'll need additional resources/practice to help get kids writing complex sentences independently.
