Description

Integrate LITERACY and SCIENCE with these Matter CLOSE reading passages! These reading passages are great to use as an introduction to Matter or to use as review and reinforcement over already taught content. The entire packet is a NO-PREP, PRINT AND GO bundle, making it perfect for substitute assignments.

Need a digital option? No problem! I have included BOTH a print and digital version of this resource, making it great for flipped classrooms, distance learning, online courses, and traditional face-to-face classrooms. (Note: the digital version comes as a Google Slides document)

Included in this packet:

⭐Intro to Matter (Lexile Levels: 800 & 1050)

⭐Phases of Matter (Lexile Levels: 800 & 1000)

⭐7 pages of Reading Comprehension Assessments

⭐BONUS: All About Matter Webquest Activity

⭐Annotating Guide and Close Reading Instructions

⭐Digital (Google Slides) version

The “Intro to Matter” and “Phases of Matter” reading comprehension passages are provided in two differentiated levels, distinguishable ONLY by a small icon on the bottom of the page. The reading comprehension activities/worksheets are the same. The “All About Matter” WebQuest activity requires the use of technology.

Please see the PREVIEW for an idea of everything included!

If you have never used Close Reading or even if you are already a pro, this print and go packet truly is for you! It has everything you need for a complete, successful informational text reading/science lesson.

This packet is both rigorous and Common-Core aligned and can be used in a variety of grade levels. I use it in my high school inclusion classes, but it has been used by middle and upper elementary school teachers with great reviews. Please see the Lexile levels to determine if these passages will fit your students’ needs. Questions have been carefully crafted to move readers from basic, recall questions to higher-level questions where students must cite evidence from the text to support their answers. There are 3 tasks/activities for the passage, moving from easier tasks to more challenging activities.

►►These reading passages pair GREAT with my MATTER REVIEW MAZE activity!

My prayer for you this week: Lord, Bless the tir My prayer for you this week:

Lord,

Bless the tired teachers who give their hearts to this profession. Who work tirelessly to meet the needs of the students that they teach. Thank you for the special gift of service that you have given them; may they use it to show grace and compassion. May they have strength and endurance to overcome the many challenges that they will face this week.

Lord, bless them.

Carry them.

Give them rest for their weary minds.

And most importantly, allow them to feel the deep gratitude that the world has for the work that they do and the impact that they have on those that they teach.

Amen.
My first experience in teaching was in middle scho My first experience in teaching was in middle school math 🥴. I had an AMAZINGLY organized mentor teacher (shoutout to @liz.c.dykes) that taught me so much about the importance of an organized classroom.

15 years later, I am still utilizing one of her tips: KEEP STUDENTS’ GRADED PAPERS IN FOLDERS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR!

That time my computer deleted all of my 4th period grades for an ENTIRE 9 weeks.....😳..... yep, that happened...... and I was thankful for this system.

This folder system has come in handy throughout the years and the students appreciate having a “place” for all of their graded assignments.
