- An open-ended bonus activity, marked by a star, at the bottom of the page to be completed on the backside. Perfect for early finishers, as homework, or extra credit.
- A short reading passage with one or two text-dependent questions. Most of the passages are informational text (written by a published author of over 100 nonfiction books for children), but a few are fictional โ just to shake things up. The questions are more closely aligned to close reading than simple comprehension.
- A theme-based joke or fun fact (joke answers can be found upside down in the bottom right-hand corner).

- A QR code that links to a Google Slides โfast finishersโ activity.

I am using this resource during speech therapy. It is awesome to use with mixed groups to address articulation, fluency and language! My students enjoy the variety of activities on each page and can work independently while I listen to students reading the text while practicing their speech goals.
