I love that my students can use colors to make in the passage where they found their answers. My students don’t like to reread and look back and this is an easy way for me to check and see if they are.

learning by the lake –
teaching POV is usually not my favorite – it’s such an abstract concept and often very difficult for students to grasp. this resource, however, proved to be an AMAZING help – not only for teaching and engagement of my students, but for me as an educator! it was easy to use, and also fun + engaging – and there are many ways to use it! thanks for all the time + effort you took to create it!

I used these passages during whole group instruction. They really challenged my students, but they learned so much from them. I would recommend these to any teacher looking for a quality POV resource.
