  3. LAUREN A.

    Just what I was looking for: high interest reading practice. The kids enjoyed reading about the different animals.

  4. Derek T.

    “I used this resource with my fourth graders and they absolutely loved it! The activities were clear, engaging, and aligned perfectly with what we were learning. It saved me so much planning time and kept students motivated. Highly recommend!”

  5. Lorenn D.

    I left these for a sub to do with my class. My instructions were to teach the kids to go back and find the answers in the text and underline them. My students hate doing that and often just guess. This was a great resource to use to work on that skill.

  6. Jacqueline A.

    This resource was excellent for reinforcing reading comprehension skills. The questions were thoughtful and helped students really think about the text.

  7. Alicia Adamczyk

    The week before break is always tricky~ trying to find activities that keep the students engaged and learning, while still having fun! These winter animal reading comprehension passages gave in to that winter fun bit~ while learning some things we didn’t know!! Used in partner groups to do the reading, then verbal and artistic presentations to the remainder of the class.
