LEXILE PARTNERSHIP

I am BEYOND excited to now be partnering with Lexile and bringing you levels for the passages inside this comprehension set!!

  • Each passage has been professionally leveled by Lexile and has been correlated to F&P and the grade level equivalent.

Now you'll be able to make teaching decisions for each passage based on the levels and student abilities.

  • If the text is independent for students, have them work on it in a center, as an exit slip, review, homework, etc.
  • If the text is instructional, use it in Guided Reading, partner work, in a strategy group, or as an intervention.
  • If the text is advanced, use it as a mentor text or whole class read aloud.

These are just a few examples of instructional use.

These passages can be used in correlation with the Mini Units for Mastery Comprehension Lessons on Summarizing!
