TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amy G. says, "This has been the perfect addition to my Language Arts block. It has stretched my students to look for the answers in the paragraph."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Michelle R. says, "This resource is perfect for my struggling readers. They feel confident being able to read the text independently & answer the question with minimal support. I am able to utilize this during intervention & for differentiated homework assignments."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brendon G. says, "Great resource to build students' fluency with themed passages! I love how it also included a section for students to make connections and also respond to comprehension questions."
The activities align with the Common Core standards for first grade. This is perfect for first grade, but could also be used for a challenge in Kindergarten and for extra practice/as review for second grade.
