I used this during an unexpected absence. It fit in with our Space Module theme quite well. My students really enjoyed this, and it provided them with a high-quality way to practice nonfiction text features. It was also easy for the sub to implement as well. Thank you!

This was a great way for students to put using text features into practice. I liked that it didn’t only focus on identifying text features, but also their purpose and having to use them to answer questions. This escape room was challenging, but it was good to stretch my students thinking.

My gifted 3rd graders were highly engaged with the online version of this resource, and I am super impressed with the excellent test prep review! It did not take them 90 minutes, but it was challenging and perfect for the enrichment time I had planned.

I used this as a review activity after teaching text features to students in library. They loved it. It does take a while for them to get through, though and students found that it didn’t save their place so it’s really important for them to record their answers on the answer sheet so they don’t lose their work.
Jessica K. –
Great resource to use to introduce nonfiction text features!

Hailey D. –
This was a great way to review and I loved it was so easy to implement. No prep required. My only wish is that it would have told my students which questions they were getting wrong so they could adjust accordingly. The last level was a bit difficult for 2nd grade but was a great challenge. I will be purchasing more of these in the future!
