• Save time--The reading passages include school friendly themes that are taught in middle school literature such as self-acceptance, resolving conflict, and more.
• Monitor student progress.  The Common Core Standard is written next to each question to make student and teacher progress monitoring easy.  A weekly checklist at the end of each week lists the Common Core skills that were covered.
• Expose students to a variety of genres. The passages include realistic fiction, informational text, poetry, historical fiction, and YA fiction.

The Common Core Standard is written right next to each question to make progress monitoring easier.  This is a great way to quickly review figurative language, inferences, character traits, and more.  Click Here For More Information

Middle School Science Fiction Close Reading and Comprehension

I truly enjoy both reading and writing YA fiction.  It was my love for YA fiction that inspired me to write this short science fiction tale.  I really enjoy the look on the middle school students' faces that I work with when they really get into a story.  It is priceless to see a student really enjoy and understand what they read.  This story, Scars and Sorters, was set in a futuristic world because students really enjoy high-action plots.  It contains the same literary devices and themes of literature, but it is set in an utopian science fiction world to draw readers into the story.  It contains close reading writing, comprehension questions, and a character analysis graphic organizer.  This is great as Common Core Literature practice and as a resource to extend literature lessons.
