This resource has been used for the past two years quite frequently. Students who need review of these skills found this rigorous and challenging. Perfect for Enrichment and intervention groups.

Wonderfully designed. Only thing, is I wish there was a copy for students that might be just below grade level for 3rd since there was a good amount that needed to be comprehended. Just to help with modifying materials.

I teach 1st-5th grade Enrichment without any curriculum, so I am constantly on the hunt for new materials. I used a few of these resources with my reading students. They are all well made, easy for the kids to understand, but challenging enough to keep them engaged. Thank you!
