Nonfiction Texts Targeting Multiple Goals-Spring Summer Edition {with a Freebie!}

It sure feels that way in Ohio, at least! I cannot wait to see my little daffodils pop their pretty little heads out of the ground this year. We have endured such a harsh winter that, although next week is technically our spring break, our district is required to make up three snow days from earlier in the year. So…technically, we’ll be off Thursday and Friday of next week. I’m refusing to even call it “spring break.” Perhaps “spring long weekend” would fit better? Okay, okay, enough complaining!

To help with my “winter blues,” I created these nonfiction passages with a spring/summer theme. We’ve been reading them this week and my kiddos loooove them!

This fun product contains 15 nonfiction texts (written by me) with a spring/summer theme to target multiple areas of Common Core. 

Each passage is written two ways:

One targeting grades K-2 and one targeting grades 3-5. The passage for my older kiddos has more advanced vocabulary and more difficult questions. 

These quick passages are perfect for language groups or centers within the classroom. Students read the passage and then address four areas of the Common Core Standards: Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Foundational Skills and Grammar. 

Topics are ones that kids can relate to and contribute discussion: 

Tulips
Ladybugs
Independence Day
Easter
Ice Cream
Frisbee
Labor Day
Baseball
Conchs
Rainbows
Camping
Diving
Bumblebees
Jellyfish
Kites

With my caseload of super-diverse student student needs, I knew I needed something that I could pull out and would work with multiple students. Your students will have fun learning and relating to these spring/summer passages and you will be confident in the skills you are building!
