BUY THE BUNDLE TO SAVE BIG!
This bundle includes DIGITAL AND PRINTABLE FORMATS of 48 differentiated texts that assess standards covering key ideas and details, craft and structure, and integration of knowledge and ideas.
Each standard has twelve individual assessments (6 fiction and 6 nonfiction), so these are perfect for standards-based grading! There are also 12 assessments provided with the standards combined.
I have aligned them with Common Core, but because reading comprehension skills are assessed similarly across the board, you can easily use these even if you don’t use Common Core.
These assess standards including skills such as
USE THESE for:
✓ pre-assessments
✓ formative assessments
✓ whole group mini-lessons
✓ independent practice
✓ homework
✓ small group remediation
✓ re-assessing
✓ progress monitoring
✓ standards-based grading
✓ assign digital Google Forms
Many people who use my Better Than Basal sets often ask how to assess after teaching with mentor texts. Rather than assessing on the book, I suggest assessing on the skill to see if they can apply it! This line of assessments is your answer! 🙂

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
These assessments are included in printable (PDF) and digital formats (Google Forms with self-grading options).
There are twelve texts included in each of the four packs (six fiction and six nonfiction). I have written four levels of each text in fiction and nonfiction genres (2nd-5th grade levels), as well as three levels of questions for each standard (3rd-5th grade standards). This is to allow for differentiation for your learners. For instance, if a student is reading on a 3rd grade level in 5th grade, you might still give him the 5th grade questions, but give the 3rd grade passage. This will truly assess if he can perform the skill, not if he can read the passage given. Of course, you don’t have to do this, it is just one of the many options I’ve provided in this pack.

INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND IDEAS
The ways to combine the texts and standards are ENDLESS! Please look at the preview file of any of the individual packs to see the MANY POSSIBILITIES of ways to MIX AND MATCH these assessments!
I created a variety of long and short passages, as well as questions for each standard for each passage. The questions are not numbered so that you can mix and match them to create a longer test covering the skills you desire, or use them independently. I included the short passages with their grade level appropriate questions on one page, but also on two separate pages so that you may still mix and match the passage levels and questions if you’d like.

You might also be interested in my Paired Texts (also in digital and printable formats)! Paired texts meet the demand for more rigorous, complex texts with Common Core- especially these passages that students can use to compare and build knowledge to integrate information and draw conclusions.

Excellent resource
I need supplemental assessments to use alongside my ELA curriculum. This is perfect.
Assessment practice
I use this resource as a way to assess my classes' understanding of comprehension skills. I appreciate having several different levels so that I can assess groups at the same time without the differences being obvious.
Great resource
This made differentiating comprehension skills among my below grade level readers.
Very helpful
I loved that the passages were differentiated and you could use different ones for different students. Thank you!
Excellent!
This was a fantastic resource for my classroom! It was easy to prep and implement!
Love this!
It's great to have an already created tool for reading comprehension. I love that it is already differentiated!
Used this resource in my class. Was easily able to accommodate all students.
This made assessing my students so much easier and faster for me grading wise. The material seems engaging and love that it is connected to the standards.
These reading comprehension passages are well-written and just right for my 3rd graders. The questions promote critical thinking and help students practice key skills. Perfect for small groups, homework, or independent work.
My students loved using this resource to help them master the third grade standards!
These are great passages to help with reading grades.
This is a fabulous bundle for assessing all year round!
This is a great resource since Units of Study do not have strong assessments
This is a fantastic resource. I have loved using it for all of my students.
This has been a great resource to use to assess the reading standards and where my students are with each standard. It makes it very easy to see where we need more work and there are multiple text sets to use with a small group if needed after assessing.
I wish I would have had this at the beginning to the year, but better late than never. I really like the differentiated levels that are available. So far, I've been able to implement this easily and clearly see what areas my students need more help in.
Fantastic! So many options and resources for the price! Easy to use!!!
My students loved this resource! They were very engaged.
This is fantastic. I love the differentiated levels. I have used this for direct instruction with my resource students and to assess their IEP goals. I love how versatile and easy to use it is. It's so easy to differentiate quickly.
THis resource helped us to assess the standards that we were working on. Thank you.
I love these! I love the different levels offered!
This is a great resource, thank you! I can't wait to use it this year!!
I love how this is differentiated and hits all of the standards. It will be perfect to implement this year.
I gave this three stars not because it isn't a great resource because it is. However, it takes forever to make copies of all the assessments into Google Drive. It has taken me over an hour to do this and I found that to be three stars.
Love this resource! Has been a huge help with with assessing my students after each of our reading Modules.
Great tool to use with students. It's differentiated and rigorous.
These are the perfect resource to use for assesments with our new reading curriculum.
I love this resource to supplement skills that we are focusing on in the classroom!
This is an amazing resource! It makes my job so much easier! I love it!
Just what I needed to test my students knowledge without it taking 3 hours. Thank you for your hard work!
Worked great for my middle school special education students!
This resource is amazing!! I love how they are differentiated and easy they are to use.
Excellent resource. I appreciate the span of reading levels provided.
