App Description

This is a free sample of Reading Comprehension Passages for students reading at Guided Reading Level E. The activities are designed to help students learn to read carefully and accurately answer text-based questions.

Kids will enjoy learning to read with these short passages about animals, pets, people and more! Listen to each passage with real-time text highlighting.

A bundle including Reading Comprehension Passages for Guided Reading Levels C-J is also available.

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. (Anne is Nationally Board Certified in the United States in Literacy.)

What teachers are saying:

"Just assessed one of my K students and she is on a level E! So nice to know I can come here and find appropriate work for her!" Samantha

"My resource students love these passages! Great practice for finding text-based evidence. Thank you!" Katie

"Great for fluency, locating answers in texts, and comprehension." Renea

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.
