US Regions: Themes of Geography Nonfiction Differentiated Reading Texts

In this resource, there is a nonfiction reading passage based on one of the five themes of Geography: Regions of the United States. The text discusses physical and cultural regions, along with a brief overview of each of the five regions of the United States. It is differentiated for your high, mid, and lower level students. 4 types of questions are included, along with an answer key. Integrate geography content with your reading texts and meet each reader's needs with this set. Guided Reading Levels: N-S-U Also includes a larger size US map that students color-code each region of the United States by looking at the map and using the key.

$Why should I purchase this passage set?$

• Textbooks aren't what they used to be...if we have them at all. Often textbooks are written well above grade level and simply aren't interested. I use my love of history to make passages engaging and informative for all levels of readers!

• Teach across the curriculum! Show your administration how you integrate and differentiate by implementing during guided reading groups, center time, or in a regular social studies block

• Perfect for last minute print & go sub plans, morning work, & homework

• In my own classroom, they are often used at the end of a unit for review, as study guides, and even test prep

• Have students with accommodations? Instantly assess them at THEIR LEVEL while meeting IEP goals!

How Does This Resource Make Me A Better Teacher?

• Your time is precious & the standards are plentiful
By integrating across content whenever possible, you save time and your students see connections across the curriculum!

• Differentiated Instruction is no longer optional-it is a must! There is no one-size-fits-all classroom. These passages are an easy way to check that off of your never-ending teacher to-do list!

• Reach your entire class with the same quality content. Each student in your class deserves a fair chance at the content. Let their passion for science and social studies thrive, regardless of their reading ability. While passages appear very similar, I can assure you hours of researching and writing have occurred on my behalf to ensure that each level is appropriate for your learners.
