⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”I absolutely love this bundle! I can’t say enough about it. I am so glad to have a way to help my children prove their answers in a passage. The questions that go with the passages are wonderful to teach my children how to answer in complete sentences using capital letters and punctuation marks. I know they are meant for first grade but it is perfect for my first semester of second-grade. Thank you, Farrah!”
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between the first grade and 2-4 differentiated bundles?
Our 2-4 Differentiated bundle was the first bundle we created for this product line. First-grade teachers wanted to also be able to do close reading comprehension activities with their students but absolutely loved our themes and passages in the differentiated bundle. Thus, we created the first-grade bundle. This bundle includes the same THEMES but they are totally different passages than you will find in the 2-4 differentiated bundle and are written at a first-grade level. The 2-4 Differentiated bundle has the same THEMES but different passages that have been differentiated into three different grade levels.
Are these passages the right level for my students?
If you’re looking for the difficulty of the text passage, you’ll need something slightly above your student’s instructional level. And before you panic, remember that you’re leading them through these close reading lessons. You’re not expecting independent reading for your passages for close reading. That’s for your whole group or guided reading lessons.
The text is meant to be longer and a bit more difficult so your students will learn to work with harder passages with confidence. They also need to see new words and phrases that they’ve not heard before. If they are only reading words they already know, they’re not going to be challenged to build up their reading skills.
Can these activities be used in a digital or virtual classroom?
Yes! If they are printable resources, you can use the pieces to teach on-screen. If they are digital resources, you can assign them through your learning management platforms like Google Classroom™, Seesaw™, or BOOM™ and can also share your screen to use them to teach the lessons!
Can I use these activities in my online classrooms as teaching material? (Outschool, Online ESL)
YES! We love online teachers and we authorize our resources to be used BY THE TEACHER during lessons. We don’t allow them to be sent to parents to be used outside the online classroom.

In order to make it easy, and legal, for you to share with your team, each team member must set up their own account and purchase a license for their classroom.
