What educators are saying

This was an easy to use slide deck with great visuals and examples to review text features in a variety of informational texts.
This was a super resource to use in a class with high school students from all grades. For some it was review, for some it was a thoughtful activity and for others it was news. I paired up the students and it was a dream! Highly recommend!

Classroom success stories from other teachers who love this resource:

♥ "Thorough coverage of text features with premade games included. Very little prep involved (unless you want to modify something)."

♥ "This is one of three nonfiction resources I downloaded. All of them were excellent. It was such a relief to find this, because I had nothing on nonfiction. Text structures are a major focus on our standardized tests. This was exactly what I needed."

♥ "Students enjoyed the games and the power point was easy for the students to understand."

♥ "This was a great review on text features for my kids. They really loved the sort/review activity at the end!"

♥ "I always feel like I am learning how to teach when I use your products. Prep is minimal, information and instruction for implementation is comprehensive, and the content is always engaging. This product gave structure to my informational unit."

♥ "Let's face it: teaching text features can be rather dull sometimes. This product made a dry subject matter engaging and interactive for my students. Thanks so much!"

♥ "Julie offers the BEST resources for teachers. Her teaching pack was incredibly helpful especially in teaching analyzing, reviewing, and assessing informational text."
