A Daily Reading Review System for Reading Comprehension

Student answering the daily questions for a Reading Spiral Review passage and highlighting text evidence

One of the most effective ways to improve reading comprehension for all students is to include a quality daily reading review system into your routine. When you expose students to quality reading passages, accompanied by well-written text-dependent questions, magical things can happen. This is why I have spent the last few years developing this daily spiral review reading program.

It comes in two versions: a printable version that is editable in Microsoft Word and Google Docs, and a digital version in Google Forms that grades itself and collects the data for you. Both are available for 2nd through 6th grade.

How It Works

Students focus on one passage per week. This gives students the opportunity to read and reread the passage multiple times, increasing fluency and comprehension.
Each day includes a handful of text-dependent questions, Monday through Thursday. This improves a student’s ability to respond to questions and cite evidence from a text, without becoming overwhelming.
There is one main focus skill per week while still reviewing other critical reading comprehension standards. Teachers can consistently see where students are still struggling.
On Friday, students take a short weekly quiz that is aligned to the review from that week. A constructed response question can be assigned at any time during the week to help students practice writing longer responses.
This resource can easily be used as daily reading homework, daily morning work, or an in-class daily reading review activity.

“This is the digital reading review for my 5th graders. This is a wonderful resource if you are looking to strengthen the concept of finding text evidence as well as reading comprehension. What I like about it most is that there are a variety of genres of literature to choose from, which I can easily assign to tie-in with what we are working on in class. Additionally, these texts and CQs are not overwhelming to students. Highly recommend!” ~ Ashley M.
