📊 NEW! Lexile® Levels Included
I am BEYOND excited to be partnering with Lexile® to bring you leveled passages inside this bundle!
This allows you to intentionally match instruction to student ability:
- Independent level → centers, exit slips, homework, review
- Instructional level → guided reading, partner work, strategy groups
- Advanced level → mentor texts, whole-class read-alouds
Teachers love this built-in differentiation:
“I was looking for a product that had multiple levels to use in my class on a variety of skills. This was great, and I’m excited to continue using it!”
🎯 Designed for Real Comprehension—Not Just Busy Work
These passages go beyond “read it and answer yes/no.”
They require students to think, write, and prove their understanding using evidence.
“The passage activities go farther than ‘read it and answer yes/no.’ They developed student accountability to hear, write, and find the concepts learned.”
They also pair beautifully with Mini Units for Mastery Comprehension Lessons, making it easy to move from instruction → practice → mastery.
🎨 Custom Artwork That Boosts Engagement
Every passage includes exclusive custom illustrations created just for Out of This World Literacy by Malaya Bengel Art—keeping texts visually appealing without distracting from comprehension.
“The students love that the texts are short and engaging.”
