App Description
Make learning to read fun with these short passages about animals, pets, people and more! Listen to each passage with real-time text highlighting!
This app is designed to help kids develop comprehension skills early in the process of learning to read. Using this app, kids who are reading at Guided Reading Levels I & J become skilled at reading simple passages and answering text-based multiple choice comprehension questions.
A bundle including Reading Comprehension Passages for Guided Reading Levels C-J is also available. To preview the series, download the free sample app.
These reading comprehension passages were originally offered on Teachers Pay Teachers. To view feedback from teachers using the paper/pencil version, search: "Anne Gardner" on Teachers Pay Teachers.
What teachers are saying:
"My kids absolutely love these! They always want to do more and it really stretches their thinking skills! Thank you!" Lisa A.
"Love the fiction and non-fiction passages with thick/thin questions!" Beth Ann P.
"Thank you for a terrific resource. There are unlimited uses for it in the classroom and for home as well." Julie S
This app is ideal for use in either a classroom or home setting. It is recommended that a parent or teacher work through the first couple passages with students. Once students are familiar with the format of the multiple choice questions, this app can be used independently. Each section of text can be touched individually to hear its pronunciation.
This free version includes one passage as a sample. the full version has all 15 levels available with no further purchases required.
These materials were developed by Anne and Keith Gardner, a mother-son team. Keith is an iOS developer and Anne is an experienced reading teacher. Together they are having a blast working to create apps designed to help kids develop early literacy skills.
We love feedback! Feel free to contact us at [email protected]. This app is compatible with iOS 7 and newer.
