What makes these 3rd Grade Fluency Passages with Comprehension Questions so unique?
Differentiation
There are three differentiated versions of each passage, for a total of 96 passage options! These passages have been carefully leveled, and the levels are subtly marked with a small icon in the corner. All three levels of passages will use the same reading comprehension question page, making differentiation simple! No child will feel left out since the mark is only a small symbol.

Comprehension Questions
Every passage includes a full page of comprehension questions. The first question on every page will help students activate their background knowledge about the passage’s topic. This question is followed by comprehension questions from the text (multiple choice and free response). Last, there is a deeper thinking question to encourage critical thinking and hit a variety of grade-level language arts standards.
BONUS! A half-page option is also included for the reading comprehension questions (not pictured). This is a GREAT option if you want to save on paper while printing!

I really like the tracking sheet for the students and passages. Also, the differentiation makes it better for me when I work with students 1 on 1. They can all still read the same passage, but in different levels to stay consistent with everyone in the class. Thank you for this!!

I was so excited when I found this resource. I am always looking for new fluency passages. I love that these passages are differentiated and come with comprehension questions. It is great that the same set of questions can be answered with any of the levels. This makes it less obvious to other classmates when a student is not reading the exact same passage.

I loved these stories. These were great for small groups. I could use them with multiple groups because there were different levels and that helped. The leveling was perfect! Thank you!
