Description

Do your students glaze over during reading time?
Struggling with vocabulary retention?
Noticing shorter and shorter attention spans year after year?

If you're nodding "yes" to any of these, this artificial selection & selective breeding reading is here to save the day!

Reading comprehension doesn’t have to be boring or overwhelming—and it doesn’t belong only in the ELA classroom! Every teacher can support literacy with the right tools (and a little bit of fun!). Just model, read together, annotate, and let those meaningful discussions begin!

I created this line of reading resources to make your life easier and your students more confident readers.

Each passage is:

  • ✔️ Clear and engaging
  • ✔️ Written at a grade 6–8 reading level
  • ✔️ Paired with thoughtful, rigorous questions that ask students to predict, reflect, connect, and think critically

Whether you’re using it for pre-reading, homework, review, or to support absent students—this resource has the flexibility you need to fit your teaching style.

Let’s get those students reading, writing, and building vocabulary—without all the prep stress!

Topics covered in this resource include:

  • Natural Selection
  • Artificial Selection/Selective Breeding
  • Dog Breeding
  • Farming

Who is this resource for?

This resource can be used by classroom teachers, tutors, and parents of students in grades 6-9. It comprehensively covers the mentioned topics, and includes several comprehension and extension questions that will lock in learning.

How Can I Use this Resource?

  • Emergency sub plans
  • Flipped classroom pre-reading
  • Whole/small group modeling of close reading
  • Independent workstations or homework
  • Extension activities for early finishers
  • Choice boards
  • Interactive notebooks (mini-booklet or annotation style)
  • Reteaching for students needing extra support
  • Make-up work for absent students

What's Included?

  • PDF file (ready to print!)
  • Audio version
  • Google Slides version for digital assignment
  • Plain text Google Doc (easy to translate)
  • Editable PPT/Keynote version
  • Answer Key

Everything you need is just a click away. After purchase, download the main PDF and access all linked digital resources on page 2.

NGSSMS-LS4-5
Gather and synthesize information about technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms. Emphasis is on synthesizing information from reliable sources about the influence of humans on genetic outcomes in artificial selection (such as genetic modification, animal husbandry, gene therapy); and, on the impacts these technologies have on society as well as the technologies leading to these scientific discoveries.
NGSSHS-LS4-4
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection leads to adaptation of populations. Emphasis is on using data to provide evidence for how specific biotic and abiotic differences in ecosystems (such as ranges of seasonal temperature, long-term climate change, acidity, light, geographic barriers, or evolution of other organisms) contribute to a change in gene frequency over time, leading to adaptation of populations.
