Classroom ELA passage
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke.
It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings.
Explore how the author uses “gray.”
Facilitation guide
From word choice to meaning
Ask “What does gray mean about Dorothy’s life?”
If needed “What does the passage say about joy in Uncle Henry’s life?”
Follow up “How does repeating gray shape the feeling of the passage?”

Different roles. Different expertise. One classroom text to work from.
Reading support teams build instructional coherence. That means classroom lessons, intervention, and tutoring work toward the same grade-level learning goals. CoPassage helps educators keep that support connected to the classroom text.
We’re building a simple way to prepare materials for reading intervention and tutoring.
Upload a photo of the classroom ELA passage or paste in the text.
Create the facilitation guide and worksheet. Review both, make any edits, and approve them for printing.
Print the materials for your session or share them with your reading support team. Educators and students use them alongside the classroom passage.
The adult gets clear guidance. The student gets space to think and respond.
The facilitation guide
Know what to ask, what to listen for, and how to guide the discussion.
“Let’s go back to the sentence before it. Who was the author talking about?”
The student worksheet
Students circle words, draw connections, and find evidence in their passage. Then they write an answer of their own.
“Which words in the passage helped you decide?”
Who does this word refer to? How do these ideas connect? What in the passage supports your answer?
Each question builds on the last. Students connect words and ideas, then use the text to explain their answers. CoPassage equips educators to build comprehension through carefully sequenced questions that help students make connections and explain their thinking.
Explore our approachA small connection.
A clearer meaning.
Dorothy caught Toto at last, and started to follow her aunt. When she was half way across the room there came a great shriek of wind, and the house shook so hard . . .
“Who does she refer to?
Draw an arrow to show the connection.”

What we’re building and what’s still being decided.
Not yet. We’re building CoPassage with input from educators. Join the waitlist for updates and chances to share your ideas.
A facilitation guide and a matching student worksheet that follow the same lesson. You review and approve both before printing. The guide will include what to say, prompts for when students get stuck, and example answers.
No. Lessons will use the text students are already reading in class. Students use their classroom passage or a copy during the CoPassage lesson.
No. CoPassage is being built for educators. An educator reviews the materials before the lesson. Students work with the adult leading the session and their classroom text.
Our goal is to support grades 3–12 at launch. CoPassage will support reading comprehension through short, grade-level classroom passages. We’ll share the supported text types and launch details as they’re confirmed.
Help shape reading support that stays connected to class. Join the waitlist for updates and chances to share your ideas.
