Printable + Digital Paperless Versions Included
With this resource, students will learn about everything in American history that took place between Reconstruction after the Civil War through present day by reading engaging passages on differentiated reading levels. There are 102 original reading passages included on 5 reading levels covering grades 3-8, totaling 510 passages. Questions (as well as answer keys) aligned to Common Core State Standards are included for each passage. Students can respond to these questions after reading. This CCSS-aligned resource is research-based, differentiated to meet the needs of varying ability levels, rigorous, and written to engage. All passages and question sets included in this resource can be printed or shared digitally with students.
Why should I invest in a bundle?
1. This bundle offers you a 30% discount from buying each passage set individually.
2. This bundle "grows" each time a new passage set is added to my shop that covers content between Reconstruction after the Civil War through present day. If you purchase now, you'll get all of the passages listed below PLUS any future passages added to my shop that cover content between Reconstruction after the Civil War through present day.
3. If you own this bundle, you are able to purchase related unit plans from my shop at a highly discounted rate. This bundle covers content between Reconstruction after the Civil War through present day, so you have discounted access to units covering that time period. Unit plans typically cost between $20-30. With the purchase of this bundle, you are able to purchase the unit plans at the discounted rate of $8-10. You are able to purchase the $8-10 "without passages" version of each unit because as an owner of this bundle, you already paid for the passages once so you don't need to pay for them again. Check out all of the complete unit plans you would have discounted access to here!
