Easily Differentiate Instruction!
These close reading comprehension passages are written at 2 different levels to allow for differentiation during instruction. The content of the 2 passages is the same, but the reading levels are different. Questions about the content are the same. This makes it easy for you to provide students with the same questions and activity sheets while also allowing students to practice close reading skills on their reading level.
All answer keys are included!
⭐Note: Each reading passage is leveled with special symbols at the bottom left corner to denote difficulty levels.
This resource is aligned to the anchor standard that refers to reading text closely:
ELA Reading Standard 1: “Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it, cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.”
