1st Grade Basketball Reading Passages
These March Madness Reading Passages and Comprehension Questions are perfect for March! They will do two things for your students. First, they will engage them, because they are timely and teach about famous basketball players from the NBA! Second, they will give your students a chance to practice text evidence skills. Both lead to growth, which is a teacher's dream come true!
