Reading Comprehension Passages: Level C Reading Comprehension Passages with Text Evidence Questions: Reading Comprehension 1st Grade: This product is designed to help kids who are reading at Guided Reading Level C become skilled at reading simple passages and answering text-based reading comprehension questions. As students find the evidence that supports their answers, they participate in their very first close reading lessons. This pack is ideal for morning work once students are familiar with the format. (Upon request, an abridged version of this product is now also listed in Spanish. If you'd like to take a look, please click here.) This packet includes 30 reading comprehension passages with three reading comprehension questions per passage. Each passage is presented twice. : In the first set, the passages are provided in a standard format. I have students circle the correct answer and also write it on the line. : In the second set, a color-coded crayon is provided in each answer box. Students use that color to underline the evidence in the text that supports their answer & also answer in a standard format. Supports the following Kindergarten and First Grade standards: CCSS ELA-Literacy.RL.1.1 - Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. CCSS ELA-Literacy.RL.K.1 -With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text. If multiple choice questions are new to your kids, I recommend putting simple questions in a multiple choice format during calendar time or other daily routines. I like to give each student a strip of cardstock with A, B and C written on it and have them practice answering multiple choice questions by clipping a clothespin on the correct answer. This is an easy, fun way for kids to develop confidence answering multiple choice questions. Once kids are comfortable with the multiple choice format, I like to discuss the first few passages with groups and demonstrate how to answer the simple text-based multiple choice questions. Some of the passages are similar to each other so you can use one passage to teach and the other to check each student's understanding during independent work. I am finding that, with guided practice, reading comprehension exercises, kids quickly develop the skills they need to be successful reading these passages and independently answering the multiple choice questions. These passages are based on common sight words. I also have kids find and highlight selected sight words. Supports the following standards: CCSS ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3g - Recognize and read grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words (for beginning of year words). CCSS ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3c - Read common high-frequency words by sight. Comments & Reviews: "Great resource! After this purchase, I now have purchased Guided Reading Level C, D, E, F, G, & H.
