Description

This DIFFERENTIATED Reading Comprehension resource is great for your classes that are mixed ability, and you want to discreetly differentiate. This activity set includes two of the exact same activities but with differentiated reading level passages – one is 6-7th grade reading level and the other is 8-9th grade. This will allow you to share them with students based on their reading levels.

They are labeled by a simple symbol that students probably won’t even notice and look identical other than that, so the students will have no clue they are not reading the exact same passage.

The topic is about a famous scientist by the name of Katherine Johnson, who endured many barriers on her path to success. The students will read about her journey, barriers, and perseverance then answer questions based on what they read.
