Teachers Just ❤️LOVE❤️ This Resource:
★ Stephanie C. said, "Wonderful resource of differentiated passages. My students enjoy when they get photographs which are easy to see when printed. Great use for literacy centers or homework."
★ Michelle W. said, "My students loved these passages!"
★ Kellie L. said, "These are wonderful because they give a mix of "right there" and "author and me" types of questions. They are high interest and informative. My students cheer when I tell them this is what we are doing!"
★ Alissa B said, "Common Core Kingdom is my JAM! No matter what curriculum your district is using (mine is using balanced literacy), they still use state standards and these wonderful resources are extremely thorough. I love that there is an anchor chart my students can cut and glue into their reading notebooks to refer back to during independent work and I usually use the hardest one to model for my students. What is also great is the leveled passages because it is easy to differentiate and not have to look all over the place for multiple sources that follow the same standard and you're differentiating with fidelity! 10 out of 10 would recommend!"
