Fundations®-Aligned Maze Passages · Level 3 Set (Units 1–14 + Bonus)

All 136 one-page maze passages for Fundations® Level 3 in one bundle: Units 1–14 + the Bonus Unit, four for each of the 34 weeks, 68 stories and 68 short nonfiction passages. Every word is decodable through the last lesson day of its week or is a taught trick word, and that week's trick words are in bold.

A maze is a short passage with a missing word about every seventh word; the first sentence is left whole. At each gap the student sees three words stacked in a small box: one fits, one is a real word that does not make sense there, and one does not fit the grammar. The student reads silently and circles the word that fits. It is a quick check of reading fluency and comprehension.

Use four mazes a week, each after that week's lessons, with a 3-minute silent read. Each passage is 120–151 words with 16–19 boxes. Every unit has a key page for each passage, a weekly scoring page (correct minus errors) and a progress graph with a column for every passage.
