Reading Comprehension Passages with Mystery Pictures ALL ACCESS Bundle

Practice lots of important ELA standards with this ALL-ACCESS BUNDLE of 36 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! That's over 100 passages to use throughout the year!

Sets included: ALL Holiday Sets, ALL Monthly Sets, & ALL Topic Specific Sets!!! Both Printable and Digital Options!

Students will love learning about the many different high interest topics as they read 3 different text types for EVERY set: one fiction passage and two informational.  These texts are DIFFERENTIATED at three reading levels so that all students will be appropriately challenged!  Students will build comprehension by answering text-dependent questions as they complete the close reading process. 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!!
