612 pagesPDFUS Letter + A43rd grade to 5th gradeEnglish

Reading Comprehension Passages Grades 3-5 is a printable PDF bundle of 612 pages for 3rd grade to 5th grade (ages 8–11). It covers Grade 3, Part 1; Grade 3, Part 2; Grade 4, Part 1; Grade 4, Part 2; and Grade 5, Part 1, plus 1 more sections. US Letter and A4 sizes are both included, as an instant download from our Etsy shop.

120 original reading passages for Grades 3, 4 and 5 in one printable file: 612 pages. Every passage is a new text written for this bundle (40 for each grade): realistic and historical fiction, fables, mysteries, science and history articles, biographies of people from history, and original poems. Each passage has four pages: the passage (one or two pages), a question page, a word work page and a think and write page with an organizer. The questions cover main idea, details, vocabulary in context, inference, sequence, cause and effect, author's purpose, text evidence, theme and fact versus opinion, and every passage ends with a written response. Answer keys for all 24 key pages sit in the back, one card per passage, plus a reading skills guide, a passage map, score logs and certificates. US Letter uses US spelling; A4 uses UK spelling (colour, favourite, neighbour).
