STAAR Reading Recursive Review
This STAAR Reading review resource provides 18 weeks of recursive review for the STAAR Reading test.
It is excellent as a daily review. For instance, it works well as a warm-up, homework, or small group tutoring.
Each week includes a short passage (genres include fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama). There is one question for each day focusing on an essential reading skill. For example: summary, unknown words, specific skill practice, inference, and short answer.

STAAR Reading Passage Review BUNDLE
Another engaging way to review for the STAAR Reading Test is the STAAR Reading Passage review bundle. This resource is perfect for students to practice STAAR reading passages in small groups or at a center.
First, student reading the passage together. Each passage (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and paired passage) has 6 to 8 questions. Then students can answer together with their group. Discussing ideas with one another will help students better understand each question. Finally, students can self check their answer with the attached QR code.
I use these passages in a rotation. As I am working with small groups of students, the other students are rotating through the passages.
