Basketball Reading Passages - 3rd Grade
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!
What is included in this download?
Four 3rd grade reading passages are included in this product, which makes it possible to last an entire month, depending on how you use it. This low-prep design only requires you to print and start teaching! You can print the passages and question sets front and back to minimize the papers you manage. Or, print graphic organizers and help students practice finding text evidence to support their answers!

Stef Curry
Kobe Bryant
*Each passage comes with 5 comprehension questions. Answer keys are provided.
Graphic organizers provided are for:

What if I need a different level for some of my students?
You can grab this same passage set in three different levels! This level is intended for students reading above a 2nd grade level for the middle of the year. Grab the other levels (or the bundle).
