TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heartly English says, “This resource was a perfect fit for a review day from our natural disasters unit! The short readings worked well for students who had missed some previous classes to get a concise overview of the concepts. Great resource!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Marcia B. says, “This was a great way to assess their read to learn skills while teaching the important information during our natural disasters theme. We also used them as format guides for writing their own reports after they had learned about all of them.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Autumn C. says, “I was out sick and needed a quick review lesson for my students. This activity was just the key. They were able to review what we had been going over and it reinforced their skills that they needed for test taking by going back to the reading. This was a great activity.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leah R. says, “My students loved using this for research! I knew they would be engaged and interested enough to work through some of the harder words on their own. This is a nicely put together little unit about a topic that students love!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heather W. says, “This was a perfect addition to our natural disasters project. I have a few students that are reading below grade level. so these shorter reading passages were better for my lower readers.”
