This was a great reading passage and organizer to use with my students for small groups! They would also be great for a day when you have a sub!

We used this throughout the short month of December. Students had a choice of which one to read for three consecutive weeks. I loved that the articles were interesting and short enough that they were not overwhelming to my low readers.

I loved having passages at my fingertips to use for fluency and/or comprehension checks with my students. They loved the different stories that are short and not a guided reading book. Thank you for sharing!
