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.

Ideas for Use:

  1. As mentor texts during a whole group lesson on text features.
  2. In a small guided reading group.
  3. In a comprehension center.
  4. As independent practice after a lesson on text features.
  5. As a homework review.
  6. Practice for taking standardized tests.

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

My students loved using this resource! They were engaged in the resource and had no trouble getting started. It didn't take much time to prepare this resource, so it was easy for me to use in a crunch time. I adapted it a little bit for my GT students to make more challenging questions.
