I loved that this resource worked with Google slides. They were perfect asynchronous work that students could focus on key comprehension skills independently. Directions were clear and my students were able to complete them independently. They worked great for my spedESOL students when I added a read-aloud feature of passage and questions. I loved the variety of passages to include poetry too. Great resource and I look forward to using it next school yea paper and pencil
