What educators are saying
I had my students use this to dig deeper into the text and analyze, interpret, and infer using a variety of literacy skills.
These reading passages are one of my favorite things to use with my students! I love that they address different standards and when used consistently help students get in the habit of thinking critically about a text and searching for text evidence. I always recommend these to my teacher friends!
Description
This 58 page product contains 10 insect themed non-fiction close reading passages with evidence-based questioning sheets to go with each. Great to use as a whole group lesson or in small group reading. The articles are about the following topics:
-honey bee
-dragonfly
-grasshopper
-ladybug
-beetle
-ant
-praying mantis
-butterfly
-fly
-wasp
Anchor charts to better explain close reading are also included.
I introduce the product with examples of how I use the articles in my personal classroom.
This packet is aligned with the Common Core, specifically the following standard:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.1 Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
