  • “I switched from ReadWorks to these. It was nice that each month had a theme and then there were multiple genres used. I loved that one week it would be informational text, then literary text, a how to reading, poems, and reader’s theater. I used them for homework, since they were shorter reading passages and great questions that went with them. I would highly recommend this bundle” -Featured TPT Review
  • “I’m always looking for good reading passages to use with my EL students. I like how these resources are grouped with monthly themes and that it includes a variety of genres.” -Featured TPT Review
