What educators are saying

This resource worked great for group work with my students on their IEP goals. For my comprehension class we have been able to read and discuss a different passage every day. This has been great for working on their comprehension skills. I would definitely recommend this resource to others!
I've used this resource multiple times and absolutely love it. The students are engaged and it helps with differentiated practice.

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

You’ll Love:

● Reliable and ready-to-go resources to give kids more practice finding the theme

● Spending less time planning your centers, guided reading, and small group instruction

● Meeting students where they are - with 3 different levels, everyone feels challenged

What You Get:

Leveled Passages

● 10 differentiated fiction passages

● 3 levels of differentiation per passage

● Word count and Lexile levels recorded in the top left corner of each passage

4 Short-Answer Questions Per Passage For Students To:

● Identify the theme

● Support their answer with facts and details from the text

● Analyze how conflict or details contribute to the theme

● Apply the theme to different situations

Detailed Answer Keys

● Detailed exemplar responses for each question set

Digital Option for Use With Google

● Option to go 100% paperless with this resource

Ideas for Use:

● Small group instruction and intervention for struggling students

● Guided reading rotations

● Morning work

● Homework

● Summative & formative assessments
