Great files! I love that they require students to find their evidence for the questions.

These Google Slides made it so easy for the students to review and practice what we’ve been learning during our synchronous time. I didn’t have to spend time creating my own documents and inserting text boxes, etc…it’s already done for you!
The passages are excellent for teaching students how to go back and reread to find text evidence.

It had some good passages but was too difficult for many of my 2nd graders. I teach a lot of ELLs and this was more 3rd grade level work for them.
