Reading Comprehension Passage Sub Plan for Grades 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Grades

Do you need a reliable, print and go assignment that your 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th graders will actually do? Forget boring, dated passages! Don't look further and download this one. This resource includes a fun, fictional reading comprehension passage about "Styleggs," a made-up (fictional) global leggings brand. The idea is familiar and relevant to middle schoolers, which means they actually focus and engage while practicing those tricky reading skills.

Why I Made This Resource?(and Why You'll Love It?):

I designed this to be the an easy day activity or a sub plan - it will save you precious planning time and keep your students busy with quality ELA work.

• Totally Relatable Topic: Middle schoolers connect with fashion and business ideas. This modern topic keeps their attention way better than traditional passages.

• More Than Just Recall: The passage is followed by 15 focused comprehension questions that don't just check basic understanding; they push students into vocabulary and light critical thinking.

• Zero-Stress Grading: An answer key and a simple quick grading scale are included. You can collect, grade, and move on instantly.

• The Best Sub Plan: Hand this to a substitute teacher with confidence. It's truly ready to go, print, no prep needed!

Usage ideas:

This resource is flexible - it can be used as a short lesson plan or you can expand it into a full unit:

• Group Work: Have students discuss the choices the fictional company, Styleggs, might make.

• Writing Extensions: Use the passage as a jump-off point! Have students write an advertisement, design a new product, or debate the sustainability of fast fashion.

• Vocabulary Warm-Ups: Pull out a few words from the text for quick daily review.

Perfect for: Independent Work, ELA Centers, Small-Group Discussion, Homework, or those unexpected absent days!
