We love using these comprehension passages from this creator. My 3rd grader has ADHD and has to really love a resource for it to be easy to use, and this has done it! He thinks the passages are actually interesting and looks forward to them as much as a 9-year-old boy can look forward to schoolwork. We plan to continue utilizing their resources as we go throughout the year.
