What educators are saying

Lots of different activities to go with the stories! Love the differentiation levels and that we can keep working on a story for multiple days using different skills.
We all know keeping kids on task when close to a holiday or break is almost impossible, but this resource helps keep my kids engaged and learning in a fun way.

    Description

    This HOLIDAY BUNDLE of 12 sets of Close Reading Comprehension Passages with Mystery Pictures, provided in both DIGITAL and PRINT formats, is designed to engage students in analyzing text using close reading comprehension strategies.  This resource motivates students to persevere through the multi-draft reading process with the use of the mystery grid picture, making it a fun activity that students will ask for again and again!

    Sets included: ALL HOLIDAY Sets - Digital & Print (If you'd like all sets, including the monthly, holiday, and everyday sets, click here for the ALL ACCESS BUNDLE)

    Students will love learning about the history and traditions of the holidays as they read 3 different text types for each holiday: one fiction passage and two informational.  These texts are DIFFERENTIATED at three reading levels, so all students will be appropriately challenged!  As they complete the close reading process, students will build comprehension by answering text-dependent questions. Here’s the fun part: their answers to the questions will help them “decode” and color the corresponding themed mystery grid picture! 

    Graphic organizers and writing prompts are also included to enhance reading comprehension and can be used as you see fit!  Want to see for yourself? Check out this fun FREEBIE to see how the text levels and questions can work for your classroom! Update: Audio version is now available for every reading passage!

    This activity is perfect for training students to read a text multiple times in order to truly understand it. By reading a text more than once, annotating it, and answering questions, students will learn to find and analyze:

    • Author’s purpose
    • Text structure
    • Text-based evidence
    • Central ideas

          ...And more!!
