What educators are saying

I used this as a warm-up/mini lesson activity with a small group of seventh grade struggling readers. They loved it and it helped build their confidence before moving on toward more challenging March Madness reading activities!
My students used the reading passages during ELA rotations. These activities were implemented on a day that we did a March Madness basketball room transformation! The reading passages were engaging and a great complement to our theme.

Description

This informational text reading and writing resource is perfect for having students read passages and learn to find and cite text evidence while learning about March Madness. This informational text resource has been used to help cite text evidence for FSA Writing and has proven to benefit student success. It can also be used to just have students underline specific text evidence if your students do not need to cite it but they need to find evidence in a text. The overall text complexity for 4th and 5th grade is lower so you can focus on teaching how to cite text evidence with this resource. The text would also be appropriate for 3rd graders to find text evidence.
