Close Reading with Paired Texts Level 3

The "Close Reading with Paired Text" supplemental workbook from Shell Publishing for Grade 3 features a variety of exercises to help students gain the right information from closely reading various texts. Chapters are arranged by topic: language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, with three selections included for each. Unit openers provide a theme summary, standards, materials needed (with page numbers for worksheets), and an answer key, as well as teacher notes. Students read the selection and complete a variety of worksheets that will help them learn to analyze pairs of texts across multiple content areas, answer text-dependent questions, compare and contrast texts, reread texts for various purposes, and build their fluency and comprehension skills.
