Author’s Point of View Reading Passages Worksheets Anchor Chart 3rd Grade RI.3.6

⭐️This collection of 12 Lexile® leveled close reading comprehension passages with standards based questions for 3rd grade Common Core standard author's viewpoint of a nonfiction text. These passages enable students to highlight their answers, an interactive anchor chart, and two assessments.

This resource begins with two anchor charts that explain what author's purpose means, and why authors write to inform (to explain, answer a question, or describe). Students will follow the provided steps to identify an author's viewpoint and determine whether or not they agree or disagree with the author's point of view.

⭐️Includes standard based passages, questions, anchor charts, and two skills focused test passages. Certified Lexile measured close reading comprehension texts are varied within the second and third grade bands.

⭐️If you do not use Common Core, this packet is still perfect for teaching these skills. Aligns with other state specific standards.

⭐️This printable and digital resource is compatible with Google Drive and Google Slides.

⭐️Digital version saves paper, but still requires teachers to correct student responses.
