Mega American Revolution Bundle for Grades 5 to 8 | Differentiated | WIDA

This Mega American Revolution Bundle gives you all 15 episodes in three parallel formats—Readers Theater scripts, narrative Mini Readers, and audio lessons—so you can flexibly support every student, in any setting. One core sequence of content, three different ways to access it, and multiple assessment types built in.

Across the series, students move from the Boston Tea Party and early protests through independence, Yorktown, Washington’s farewell, and the unresolved questions of slavery and freedom. The story arc, key events, and big ideas stay consistent; what changes is how students engage with the material, making it easy to plan tiered supports, WIDA-aligned language practice, and MTSS/RTI interventions.

Readers Theater Scripts (Click here to see the full bundle description)

• Two differentiated versions for each script (Grades 3–5 and Grades 6–8).
• Shorter, more accessible language than the Mini Readers—ideal for students who benefit from productive oral language practice in a supported group.
• Built for small groups, reading circles, and fluency work: students speak, listen, and interact with content together rather than working alone.
• Especially helpful for emerging readers, multilingual learners, and students who need rehearsal and peer support to complete a task.
• Try one first to see if meets your needs :)
  • Download The Boston Tea Party & Intolerable Acts FREE! 
  • Note: This is the only item bundle doesn't include this so please download it for free separately : )

Mini Readers (Click here to see the full bundle description)

• Narrative “mini-novel” style texts (approx. 1300–2000 words) at a Grades 5–8 reading level.
• Designed for students ready for more complex receptive reading demands: denser text, richer vocabulary, and more sophisticated structure.
• Each reader includes comprehension and higher-order questions so students can demonstrate productive written language (short answer, application, and analysis).
• Works well for independent reading, partner work, literature circles, or targeted small-group instruction.
• Note: The Mini Readers are all in one file as the max number of bundled products is 30 and this has 45 distinct products : )
• Try one first to see if meets your needs :)
  • Download The Boston Tea Party and the Intolerable Acts FREE!

Audio Lessons (Click here to see the full bundle description)

• 10–15 minute curriculum-style audio episodes covering the same sequence of events and themes.

Ideal for students who:

• Missed a day of instruction and need to catch up,
• Struggle with print-heavy materials, or
• Learn better through receptive auditory input.
• Perfect for listening centers, headphones work, or at-home reinforcement, with built-in prompts and follow-up tasks.
• Try one first to see if meets your needs :)

Assessment & Language Support Across the Bundle

Across the three formats, you get a mix of:

• Self-graded multiple-choice quizzes (Google Forms) and printable exit quizzes.
• Short-answer comprehension and higher-order thinking questions.
• Graphic organizers and structured worksheets.
• Vocabulary support connected to each episode’s key concepts.

Taken together, this bundle supports students at a range of WIDA proficiency levels—emphasizing both receptive language (listening, reading) and productive language (speaking, writing).

You can move up or down the support ladder as needed:

• Readers Theater for supported, oral, small-group access.
• Mini Readers for independent reading and written output.
• Audio Lessons for auditory access, make-up work, and reinforcement.

If you want one American Revolution resource that keeps content consistent while flexibly adjusting text load, language mode, and assessment type, this combined bundle is built to cover your bases.
