What educators are saying
I love these! I have them for all of the months and use them on a regular basis. The students find them engaging and I love the variety of texts!
I am always encouraging my students to find evidence in texts to support their answers. These passages provide them with a great opportunity to do this.
Thanks!

This Text Detectives pack includes 10 non-fiction passages:
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
- New Year’s... Around the World
- Polar Animals: Polar Bears
- Polar Animals: Penguins
- Polar Animals: Pinnipeds
- Polar Animals: Orcas

Aligned to CCSS R.L. 2.1, R.L. 3.1, R.L. 4.1 and R.I. 2.1, R.I. 3.1, and R.I 4.1, this Text Detectives pack is easy to use in your classroom as morning work, reading comprehension practice, a center activity, or homework. These can even be used to assess your students' ability to prove their answers in the text or as a relevant and engaging test prep activity! Many passages integrate seasonal science or social studies content to support your content instruction, but others are more generic to give you planning flexibility.
