INFO ABOUT THE DIGITAL FILES:
The assessments are provided in Google FORMS. The multiple-choice options will be shuffled for each student, and the items will be automatically scored.
The passages are provided in Google SLIDES and can be annotated by adding text boxes. Students could use lines to underline or draw arrows with the line tool. I have also inserted a “highlight box” on the title of each passage. Show students how to select the box, then copy and paste it to use for highlighting purposes in the text. They can resize the box by dragging the corners to highlight only what they need.
You could allow the students to use their annotated passages for their assessments by having them share the screen (or “split screen”) for both files. I have also included the passages at the top of the assessments.

On the state testing, comparing 2 stories and texts that are related to one another is a big part of students' writing section. This is an easy way for me to reinforce the skills we have learned. Another bonus is the time saved planning by purchasing this bundle.
I used this resource within a small group for intervention with all 4th grade students. They worked well with guidance and built stamina along the way. They were really interested in the new facts they learned by reading! Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this resource!
My students find the passages in this resource engaging. The students find the passages very interesting and engaging. The different levels are easy to use and the students are engaged with the content in the passages. What a great resource!
This was a great resource to use during our intervention time. I used it as a close read. Having it differentiated helped teach to all levels. The questions that accompanied the reading passages were a great variety of question types. It also worked well with F and P resources.
This is a great resource to use in whole group, small group, or during workstations to reinforce multiple ELA standards.
I cannot wait to use this resource with my students!
