Welcome to overlapteaching.com!

The creator of this material is a Texas teacher who recognized how “THE TEST” can take over instructional time.  In order to use time more effectively, she has written reading passages that teach science objectives, making it easy to integrate the two subjects and save time!  These passages are available on CD so teachers can print class sets for student use.  CD’s are available for third, fourth, and fifth grades.  You are welcome to view sample passages by clicking on the links at the top.




Each CD-ROM contains:

- 25 reading test-formatted passages with 10 multiple-choice questions per passage
- Reading
passages written in a variety of genres

- Ideas for hands-on science experiments that can be done at school or at home
- Information that covers the Texas science curriculum, objective by objective


These CD-ROMs were written with teachers in mind. We hope they will allow you to streamline your teaching so that you have enough time in your day to teach things other than test-taking strategies! Since the passages are on CD, you are welcome to modify them before printing them for your class, if you see a need. If you have comments, concerns, or suggestions, we encourage you to send all feedback to overlap_teaching@yahoo.com.  We will be pleased to keep you updated on any revisions if we hear from you! We wish you all the best as you help your students reach their full potential as learners.



** The 5th grade CD covers all science objectives tested in science, so objectives from 2nd to 5th grade are included.

** Solar system passages are already updated to tell about the new status of Pluto!
