Close Reading for the Year Bundle

Description

This Close Reading for the Year Bundle has everything you need for a complete Close Reading unit every month of the year in your classroom. High-interest, differentiated reading passages are at the heart of this one-stop, 660 PAGE resource!

If you have never used Close Reading or even if you are already a pro, this Close Reading Bundle for the Year truly is for you! It has everything you need for complete, successful informational text reading units every, single month.

Each of the 5 passages included in each month’s resource is provided in two differentiated levels. One is in the fifth-sixth grade reading range, and the other is in the third-fourth grade reading level range. The level is given for each passage, along with a guide that provides the corresponding grade level for Lexile levels. I’ve taken all the guesswork out of differentiating and leveling of passages for you!

Each month’s packet includes:
• 5 Monthly-Themed Informational Passages (each passage has 2 differentiated versions)
• 5 Close Reading Activities for each passage
• End of Unit Culminating Writing Activities
• Guide Sheet
• Annotation Guide
• Answer Keys

Each packet is both rigorous and Common-Core aligned. Questions have been carefully crafted to move readers from basic, recall questions to higher-level questions where students must cite evidence from the text to support their answers. There are 5 tasks/activities for each passage, moving from easier tasks to more challenging activities. Each passage and its corresponding activities offer a full-week’s worth of close reading.

• JANUARY
• FEBRUARY
• MARCH
• APRIL
• MAY
• JUNE
