where are the answer guides for these activities? (Author's Purpose- gr. 5)

Usually, if you look up each article individually, you can find the answers. I do wish they would put them here as well. I think it is strange that they don't.

There is something that suits each one of my students ! Students who waited for the class time to be over, are now participating very enthusiastically in the discussions on the questions.
Thank you so much.

I love the posters provided with the unit. They are very good visual reminders for the students as they read and evaluate any type of text.

This website is amazing. I gave my students an assessment and found that they were continuing to struggle with cause and effect relationships. I pulled this site up while they were at specials and found a passage that we were able to work on as soon as they returned.
I love how user friendly the site is and the plethora of resources available.

Thank you a million times over for these already created passages that help us so much in the "trenches"

I find this site extremely helpful when teaching reading strategies. Plus, the passages are tremendously engaging.
Thank you so much!
