Description
Are you looking to transform your reading content into a fun and engaging learning experience? Look no further! Unlock the Text: Central Message is the perfect game to build motivation and perseverance in your students, all while digging deeper into reading standards.
WHAT MAKES UNLOCK THE TEXT UNIQUE?
Its built-in progression of thinking skills based on Bloom's Taxonomy allows students to practice each standard in new and challenging ways. All levels of the game focus on the same reading skill, but each level approaches the skill in a different way. As students progress through the game, the questions progress in difficulty, allowing students to dig deeper as they stretch their understanding. By Level 6, students demonstrate their mastery of grade-level reading standards as they produce an original creation based on the prompt.
WHAT ABOUT MY STUDENTS WHO ARE READING ABOVE OR BELOW GRADE LEVEL?
Our differentiated passages allow you to mix and match passages and questions to fit the needs of your students! If you have a 4th grade student reading below grade level, you can choose the 2nd grade level reading passage with 4th grade level reading questions, and vice versa. With three grade levels of reading passages and questions, this game is easily customizable to fit the needs of your students!

TEACHERS LOVE UNLOCK THE TEXT GAMES:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mrs. Crippens Corner says, “My students LOVED this!! They were so engaged. Something I loved about this is that it provided an engaging & MEANINGFUL activity for students to be working on as I pulled back individual students & groups to my back table to work through parts of each challenge they struggled with. My kids loved eating the “fish food” as they worked on the challenges. They absolutely LOVED the detours too! One of my favorite things was the way the challenges help the students to really dive deep into the standard. They REALLY have to think. I love the higher levels of thinking the challenges support. I love love love this resource!!!”
