If you have never used Close Reading or even if you are already a pro, this print and go packet truly is for you! It has everything you need for a complete, successful informational text reading unit.
“The History of Football” reading comprehension passage is provided in two differentiated Lexile levels. One is in the fifth-seventh grade reading range, and the other is in the third-fourth grade reading level range. The Lexile 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 the passage for you!
This packet includes:
• “The History of Football” Informational Reading Passage (Provided in 2 Levels)
• 5 Close Reading Activities
• End of Unit Culminating Writing Activity
• Guide Sheet
• Annotation Guide
• Answer Keys
• Fun “Create Your Own Football Team” Activity Sheet
This 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 the passage, moving from easier tasks to more challenging activities. The reading passage and its corresponding activities offer a full-week’s worth of close reading.
