2nd-3rd Grade Reading Passages with Comprehension Questions

This is a set of 10 fiction reading passages followed by comprehension questions with finding the evidence strategy. The passages are offered in 2 versions.

VERSION 1 : The students will have to find the evidence in the text

for the multiple choice questions and underline it with different crayons.

VERSION 2 : The students will answer the questions without finding

the evidence in the text (standard version).

The students will have to:

* read each text 3 times and color a star after each reading (to increase their

reading fluency)

* answer 5 text-based multiple choice questions and a written response question (that is either a higher order thinking question or a personal connection to the text)

* prove their answers to the multiple choice questions by underlining the evidence in the text (in version 1)

I used a small font to fit both the passage and the questions on the same page. Answer key included!

Story titles:

Benny the Bear

Two Cake Makers

The Mysterious Coin

The Playful Fox

A Helpful Boy

The Curious Monkey

A Day in the Woods

The Secret Door

The Little Baker

A Donkey's Dream

You can use these passages during reading centers, morning work, or Reading Intervention.
