In order to meet the expectations of the Common Core State Standards, students must practice closely reading complex text. Whether a student is a struggling reader or advanced, Differentiated Reading for Comprehension presents three different levels of reading in short, nonfiction passages for close reading practice. Each passage features high-interest content to appeal to students across all reading levels. Comprehension questions follow each set of passages to promote deep understanding and critical thinking. The supporting Common Core State Standards are listed on each page, and a skills matrix is included for easy instructional planning.
