What educators are saying

My favorite activities are those that can be altered to address a variety of skills! This lends itself to many different targets.

Description

Vocabulary work for middle and high school made easy using digital or printed materials! Target comprehension and use of antonyms, synonyms, multiple-meaning words, and BONUS inference questions in context with these high-interest short stories made for older students. Also great for listening or reading comprehension tasks!

Speech and language students, special education, English language learners, RTI groups, homeschool students, or those looking to strengthen vocabulary can benefit from using these one-page stories for improving language skills! Digital options are in color for increased engagement while b/w copies work well for printing, data collection, or homework!

Multiple stories allow for lots of practice opportunities! Perfect for using in conjunction with teaching dictionary and thesaurus skills.
