Hi-Lo Nonfiction Passages for Struggling Readers: Grades 4–5: 80 High-Interest/Low-Readability Passages With Comprehension Questions and Mini-Lessons for Teaching Key Reading Strategies
I teach students in grades 6-8 who are struggling in reading. These
articles are a perfect one day lesson to teach a reading skill. The
book is organized by strategy: main idea, inference, sequencing, using
context clues, etc. and then by reading level with increasing difficulty
to reinforce the skill and stretch the student's reading skills. I
often will use the lowest readability article to introduce the topic and
work up in difficulty. It also allows for independent work on same
strategy but at differnt levels.
The articles are interesting to
students and look like anything else their friends may have as classwork
or homework. If I could only have access to a handful of teachng
resource books, this is one I wouldn't part with. I wish they would
come out with a Volume 2!
I would also recommend the same book
but for grades 2-3 with readability levels beginning at 1st grade to
reach your lowest readers.
