It is a short resource which is nice. It wasn't clear to me how some of the activities are aligned. There were multiple errors in the teacher key as well as the student resources. The texts are labeled "texts" but are referred to as passages, which confused my students. The resource said that authors use paragraphs, chapters, sections, headings, and images, but more frequently, on activity 4, only referred to individual students.
