TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Taylor said, “This was a great resource! I went over the “notes” portion the day before I was absent, and I left the reading/answering portion for my students to complete when they had a sub. It was a great way for them to perform a close read and give evidence to support their answers.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Laura said, “This is a fantastic resource and the slides are a wonderful visual for my students! It makes teaching Main Idea & Key Details that much easier! The non-fiction articles and question sets are also fantastic, thanks so much!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Donna said, “Love this resource! Students were able to learn to focus on finding the main idea through the variety of slides and topics. They were engaged and stayed on task. Teacher and student friendly!”
