In the full product, you get a total of four different topics with the same types of second read, third read, writing response, and paired text activities. If you are looking for an online version of this product, click {here}.
I have used these close reading texts with my own fifth graders to promote more meaningful interactions with text. I purposefully wrote these texts to be high-interest and short so that the students would be motivated to read the text multiple times. The follow-up activities have gotten my students to go back to the text and dig deeper.
