Reading Comprehension Level 1.5 bridges instruction between Level 1 and Level 2 with minimal writing demands. It covers letter-sound identification, phonics blends, and listening comprehension using WH-question prompts, with anchor charts, flashcards, and matching activities designed for students with limited expressive language skills.
And this is a product preview of Level 1.5 of Reading Comprehension. So you can download this by sections, so you'll have everything organized right here, or the complete resource. So hopefully this will make it a little bit easier for printing. I'm going to start off with the complete resource. So Level 1.5, I think, identifies a missing component in the language arts curriculum where 1 to 2 jumps a little bit too quickly. So I will be making language arts Level 1.5, but for now, this is Reading Comprehension 1.5. So it will still build in difficulty but have less writing that a Level 2 skill would have. So we're gonna look at things like letter sounds, identifying beginning and ending, starting into some of our phonics, of, um, phonics skills, L blends, R blends towards the end, a lot of listening comprehension with those WH questions. I think it will be very beneficial. There's really thorough instructions on how to utilize this resource, how to take data, how to use the book skills as well as research and references on how I developed the skills in here. So each anchor chart for each unit has the sight words, the listening comprehension skill, the phonics skill, and the book skill. There are word flashcards and picture flashcards for all of the words included. These are our Fry Nouns and Fry First 100, so you can work receptively or expressively. So your students do not need verbal skills to work on this. And then the pictures the nouns to work on the comprehension. Pretest, posttest, rubrics, and then all of the activities. So as you can see, there's super minimal writing, lots of listening comprehension, lots of ways to practice these skills in a variety of types of settings. So if your kids have limited writing skills, there's still a ton of matching, a ton of listening comprehension with those WH questions, which is so important. But then a lot of ways to work on phonics skills in in a way that is appropriate for kids that maybe aren't writing yet or, um, just need a little bit more support. So finding the ending picture, things like that. So this was Level 1.5 of reading comprehension.
