What educators are saying

Used this with small group instruction for grades 3-5. The passages are engaging, and able to be differentiated.
My students are so engaged with this resource. Color coding to find the answers helps them to understand the questions better and has also raised their confidence on comprehension texts. I love that I can use these in differentiated reading groups or as a whole class.
