The complete Paired Texts collection in one download: all five grade bands from Grades 2 through 12, every set with two differentiated reading levels. 25 high-interest topics, 50 print-ready files - fiction + nonfiction, questions and a scaffolded written response throughout.

Each topic pairs an original fiction story with an original nonfiction article on the same theme, followed by structured comprehension questions and a supported written response. Every topic comes at two Lexile levels so mixed-ability classes can read the same content side by side - Level 1 with a key-vocabulary box and word-bank scaffold, Level 2 with richer vocabulary and higher-order questions. Lexile bands rise across the collection from 400L in Grades 2-3 up to 1550L in Grades 10-12.

Topics span science, history, ethics, technology and global citizenship - from Animals & Habitats and Dinosaurs in the early grades to Climate Change, the Holocaust, CRISPR, Surveillance & Privacy and Wealth Inequality in the senior bands. Perfect for guided reading, comprehension lessons, literacy centres, homework, exam practice or assessment. Print and go.
