About this ebook

Use the classics to teach the elements of fiction using leveled texts! Support your differentiated instruction with this book featuring passages from 15 different classic works including such titles as: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Story of Doctor Dolittle, and My Father's Dragon. This resource is perfect for close reading or small-group instruction because each selection is written at four different reading levels and includes a focus on setting, character, plot, or language usage. These texts can support students' vocabulary development, improve writing skills, foster engagement, and promote creative thinking. Symbols placed in the lower corner of each page represent the reading level range and are designed to help teachers differentiate instruction. Comprehension questions are also provided to complement each reading level.
