Comprehension Passage Pack for Grade 3
This resource contains the full text of reading comprehension passages in Levels
13 through 15 of Lexia? Core5? Reading. It supports teachers in further scaffolding
comprehension instruction and activities for students.
The comprehension passages in Lexia Core5 Reading have been analyzed using a
number of tools to determine complexity, including Lexile? measures. Based on this
analysis, the comprehension passages are appropriately complex for students reading
at the grade-level of skills in each program level. For example, the comprehension
passages in Levels 13-15 (Grade 3 skills) typically fall within the range of Lexile
measures deemed appropriate for on-level Grade 3 readers. (Texts with non-standard
punctuation, such as poems and plays, are not measured.)
The Content Area Connection column in the table of contents can be used as a guide
to determine the general topic of each passage. It does not indicate alignment to any
specific content area standards.
Keywords in the passages are indicated in bold and defined in a glossary located at
the end of the pack. The words are the same as those found in the online passages.
While most terms are included to support word meaning, some terms are included
because pronunciation may be challenging.
