What makes these Reading Fluency Passages 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.
Please note: Kindergarten is leveled slightly differently. There are 2 differentiated text versions and a multiple-choice and free-response version of each passage. That’s a total of 128 passage options for Kindergarten

Reading 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 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!
Please note: For the Kindergarten passages, the passage, and question are included on the same page.Â

Reading Fluency
This resource makes recording data simple for you. There are several options included for tracking reading fluency! Up to 3 reads of each passage can be recorded directly on the passage page.
A teacher recording sheet and a student graph, as well as directions, are included, so you will know exactly what to do!

A wide variety of passage topics included
This comprehensive set of reading passages includes a variety of fiction and non-fiction passages. From stories to how-to lists, rest assured that your students will be reading a wide variety of texts with these passages! You can see the list of passages included in the full contents below.

I like that there are 2 different ways for students to show their understanding. Some students need the multiple choice and others are able to write sentences. I like that they text can be the same.

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!!

AMAZING bundle. I love that the story lines continue across all grade levels so I can differentiate from more than one grade level without needing multiple stories. It is great for comprehension practice so we can all discuss the elements of the story together while providing both my lowest and highest readers with options that are best suited to them. Thank you for creating this bundle. Absolute amazing timesaver!!

I use this resource to differentiate our reading fluency practice while distance learning for those who are below 2nd grade level. In my Seesaw class we do a cold read on Monday, practice reads on Tuesday through Thursday, and a Hot read on Friday. I download the page I would like to assign to Seesaw and then duplicate the page. Students set a timer and then record themselves reading the passage. I love that I can listen to them and make notations at a time that is convenient for me.

Thayne Sanders –
The passages were great for fluency and comprehension. However, I was disappointed because I thought I was getting 96 passages PER GRADE that I could use each day as student move up throughout the year. The passages are ALL THE SAME topic for each grade. It will be impossible for student to move from 3rd to 4th level passages; they would have already read the same passage and content. It was an expensive set and I am not happy that each grade has the exact same stories. There needs to be better clarification on this fact BEFORE purchase.

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.

Thank you for this reading resource! I spent 13 years teaching Kindergarten before making the transition to 5th grade. Knowing how important it is for young students to develop strong early literacy skills, I wasn’t focused on fluency and comprehension. Now, these two skills are critical for upper elementary students to be successful readers AND writers. Thank you again for sharing this resource!

I really liked having multiple levels of the same story. I used these for fluency practice with my students, but some of the vocabulary was very challenging for my students, regardless of which level they were reading. It could just be the group of students I have, but it wasn’t as effective as I had hoped.
