This bundle provided a great variety of nonfiction reading passages and text evidence practice activities that kept my students engaged while strengthening comprehension skills. The questions encouraged close reading and required students to go back into the text to support their answers with evidence. I loved how easy the resource was to incorporate into reading groups, independent work, test prep, and intervention support. The animal-themed passages were especially motivating for students and helped increase participation. This is a strong upper elementary resource for building comprehension and evidence-based responses!
