You will love this Christmas and Holiday Edition of my Text Evidence Reading Comprehension Passages! Teach your students to USE the text and PROVE their answers with evidence! Included in this *Special Edition* text evidence reading intervention pack for 20 comprehension and fluency passages for your students. The passages have a Christmas Theme to add fun, interest, and engagement into your small group reading lessons. Students will learn about traditional Christmas symbols and read facts and information about ten different holidays around the world!
As educators, we have seen a big shift in the importance of students not only being required and able to comprehend text but to use and state evidence directly from the text to support their understanding. These text evidence reading passages allow your students to build and practice this skill in an interactive, kid-friendly way!

These interactive, hands-on reading passages provide your students with fluency, comprehension, and written response practice.
How does it work?
•Students read the passage three times for fluency. They keep track of the amount of times they read the passage by coloring a picture each time they read (optional).
•The consistent format of the passages guide your students through the process of looking back into the text to support their comprehension and understanding with text-based evidence. Students will have a blast using their crayons to highlight and look for evidence!
•The students practice responding to the text through a Read and Respond activity.
The Read and Respond section of these comprehension passages target inference, vocabulary, main idea, cause and effect, compare and contrast, drawing conclusions, text to self connections, reflection, opinion skills, and identifying details.
These passages are great to use in a whole group setting, small group setting, RTI, intervention classrooms, or as center work or independent work within the classroom. The passages are written within a second and third grade reading range, making them perfect for first grade stretch texts or first grade students reading above grade level, second and third grade independent reading, below-target third grade readers, at-risk fourth grade students, intervention students, and small group settings.
This special Christmas Edition is perfect for social studies, tutoring, and great for spicing up your small group content in order to add some fun and interest into your literacy block! Kids LOVE nonfiction and this pack will not disappoint! Practicing fluency and comprehension has never been so fun for students – and easy for educators!
