What educators are saying

I used this in 4th grade to meet my science standards. GREAT resource since I do not have actual curriculum to use and have to find my own.
My students worked on this during our Science unit. They had fun working through the different types of energy and learning about each one.

Feedback from teachers.

  • Articles are easy to read and great for comprehension. Questions are embedded in the articles, plus the overall review helps students apply what they learned.
  • Great easy resource to use on a day I was out for conferences! Students could work in partners quietly and did not have too many questions.
  • First, kudos for putting together a resource that is very age-appropriate looking for middle, school-especially for students in special education. The content and vocabulary are grade-level appropriate. I did read most of this out loud to my students, but they had to use their reading code strategies, such as highlighting while I read to help them find and locate information/answers.
  • I use nonfiction text as much as possible to help my students prepare for assessments and future learning environments. I liked these articles; they helped me reinforce a science topic and help them build reading skills.
  • Great work to leave for the sub. They still learned so much just from the reading. It was perfectly on their level :)
