⭐️These Lexile® leveled close reading stories are perfect for teaching students how to describe characters in a story and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events. This packet is designed to specifically fit 3rd grade Florida B.E.S.T standard ELA.3.R.1.1 , but can be used by anyone teaching character development.

⭐️Includes Lexile leveled passages, standard based questions, anchor charts, and hands-on cut-and-paste visuals to help students master this skill. Certified Lexile measured close reading comprehension texts are varied within the third grade band.

⭐️If you do not use Florida Best, a similar bundle is available for third grade Common Core. Both packets contain most of the same passages, so do not purchase both.
