This resource was a lifesaver during our November reading block. The passages are detailed and high-interest, which really helped my “bubble” students practice staying focused through longer texts. The writing prompts allowed for deep reflection and were excellent for practicing evidence-based writing. It’s a perfect mix of history and essential reading skills!
