What others have said about this product:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lara M said, I tutor students in reading via Zoom, but I live locally, so parents come to pick up weekly homework packets for my lessons. We did the sample activity during our Zoom class (discussed), then the students were given one of the articles recommended for take-home practice. I thought this was an incredibly well-developed product and I am pleased with my purchase. Thanks!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Queen Bee Classroom said, This is perfect for teaching the students how to close read!
