Description
Determining the theme of a passage can be tricky because it depends on a student’s ability to properly infer the main message of a passage. My Finding Theme Reading Comprehension Passages are written so that students can master finding a single theme within a short story by pushing past the details and elements to pull out the main message. With 3 differentiated levels for each of my 10 passages, your students will have the repeated practice they need to master theme in no time!
Best of all, this isn’t the same old “identify the theme” resource. Students dig deeper to:
● Identify facts and details to support their determination of theme
● Analyze how conflict or details of the text contribute to the theme
● Synthesize by applying the theme to different situations

● Spending less time planning your centers, guided reading, and small group instruction
● Meeting students where they are - with 3 different levels, everyone feels challenged
