Paired Text

"Reading two texts with a similar theme, topic, or other element, can help move your students towards reading and comprehending more complex texts."

ReadWorks.org has paired texts for you to use in your classroom -- this is such an awesome resource! Not to mention it is another resources that aligns with the Iowa Core! One of the standards is to "analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take."
