I think this is a great product. It gives you 23 different passages with questions regarding the genres. This was great for reviewing and reteaching genres to those who needed it. The best part is that it has a printable version and google classroom version.

Description

Let's face it. Reading passages can sometimes be just a little bit boring. Students can get tired of reading and responding to passages day after day...but not these!!! Your students are going to love these genre focused reading comprehension passages. Each reading passage is written in the style of a different genre. They are a great resource to use when you are introducing genre, or if you are looking for a fun way to change up your typical reading passage routine.

These "What's My Genre?" Reading Passages have tons of fun uses.

Use them as a "genre of the day" routine at the start of the school year when you are introducing genre.
Create a gallery walk and have students read the passages and guess the genre.
Use as mentor texts when teaching about genre (this works for both reading and writing).
Use when you are looking for a fun way to spice up your reading passages for guided reading or other small group lessons.

What's Included:

23 Passages & Response Sheet: Includes 23 different reading passages. Each passage is one page and has a response sheet that can be printed on the back side.
Answer Key: Each reading response sheet comes with an answer key so you can assign a reading passage to your students and check their responses without having to read the entire passage yourself.
Digital Version: Each passage and comprehension response sheet is also available in Google Slides. Text boxes are added to the response sheets so students can type directly on the response sheet.
