Reading Passages Bundle with Comprehension Questions

This reading passages bundle is ideal for test prep! It contains 60 reading comprehension passages (32 nonfiction passages, 17 fiction passages, 8 poems, and 3 dramas). Beneath each passage, there are usually six multiple choice comprehension questions. (However, two of the poems contain 9 questions.) These reading passages can be used in so many ways! Some options include using them as a test prep activity, as morning work or homework, as part of a small group lesson, or as part of a distance learning activity.

The comprehension questions vary with each passage, which allows your students the opportunity to review several reading skills at once.

The skills targeted in these passages include:

• Citing Text Evidence
• Context Clues
• Cause and Effect
• Figurative Language
• Character Traits
• Main Idea
• Theme/Central Message
• Text Structure
• Author's Purpose
• Drawing Conclusions
• Prefixes
• Suffixes
• Genre
• Supporting Details
• Text Features
• Sequence
• Compare/Contrast
• Antonyms
• Word Choice
• Roots
• Summarizing
• Point of View
• Author's Tone
• Elements of Dramas
• Elements of Poetry

Twenty-nine passages fall into the 810-1000 lexile range.

Twenty-one passages fall into the 610-800 lexile range.

The three dramas are slightly easier (410-600 lexile range).

Most of the poems fall into a lexile range that exceeds 1000 because of the complex sentence structure they exhibit.

UPDATE! All three sets now includes a digital option, too, making it ideal for distance learning situations! I made two digital versions of each reading passage- one uses Google Slides and the other uses Google Forms. You can send the Google Form or Google Slides link to your students or you can share a link in Google Classroom.
