I have used this unit in the past when I had it apart of school access. It is a good unit for teaching text structure. I am now going to use it with my 4th grade students in my k-4th special education classroom.

Nonfiction Text Structures
Rated 5 out of 5
July 9, 2026
This nonfiction text structures unit was an excellent resource for helping students understand how informational texts are organized! The passages, worksheets, and practice activities provided students with meaningful opportunities to identify different text structures and strengthen their comprehension skills. I loved that it gave students repeated practice while helping them become more strategic nonfiction readers. This resource was easy to use, engaging, and a great support for teaching students how to analyze informational texts!

Helpful for stations
Rated 4 out of 5
June 17, 2026
I absolutely loved this station resource! Sometimes the best resources are the ones that keep things simple, and this one did exactly that while still being incredibly thorough. Everything was easy to prep, easy to implement, and clearly designed with classroom teachers in mind. My students stayed engaged and were able to work independently, which made our station time run smoothly. I appreciated how much meaningful practice was packed into the activities without feeling overwhelming. This is the kind of resource I know I'll return to again and again. Thank you for creating something so practical and effective!
