*** Modern Clickable Titles: Table of Contents with lexile levels.
*** Good Old Fashion Table of Contents with page numbers.
These timeless passages and the corresponding activities can be used all year!
Not just during September!
Use for fluency practice!
Each passage page has the word count and lexile level clearly indicated.
Will work nicely for whole group, small group, social studies, American History, and more!
This set will also work perfectly for read-alouds.
“Close Reading” can happen with read-alouds. 😉
