LEXILE PARTNERSHIP
I am BEYOND excited to now be partnering with Lexile and bringing you levels for the passages inside the Comprehension Passages Bundle!!
Now you'll be able to make teaching decisions for each passage based on the levels and student abilities.
- If the text is independent for students, have them work on it in a center, as an exit slip, review, homework, etc.
- If the text is instructional, use it in Guided Reading, partner work, in a strategy group, or as an intervention.
- If the text is advanced, use it as a mentor text or whole class read aloud.
These are just a few examples of instructional use.
Ideas for Use:
- As mentor texts during a whole group lesson on comprehension.
- In a small guided reading group.
- In a comprehension center.
- As independent practice after a lesson on summarizing.
- As a homework review.
- Practice for taking standardized tests.
