These were perfect for my classroom. I loved the differentiated reading levels so all my students could read the same topic but on their level and then answer questions on the back. It helped them practice and grow in their understanding of cause and effect.

Loved all the different levels to meet my student’s needs. Easy to print and very little prep to get it set up, yet my students are getting wonderful quick and easy skill practice. I use it as morning work once a week and love the quick check in.

I am always completely satisfied and excited about LLL products. I pretty much own all of them. This resource exceeds my expectations. All my students can find some level of success; and quite frankly that’s my main focus this year is building confidence. As stated, students’ ability is all over the place this year, and I am happy to find a resource that helps everyone….including me!

My students enjoyed being pulled in small groups to read these stories to me. They were funny, interesting, and kept them engaged. There was below level options, on level options, above level options, and so much more. This is something I will definitely use in my classroom every year. Thank you so much for this great resource!

My students loved this resource for their reading homework! They were engaged in the resource and had no trouble completing it on their own. They found the passages engaging. It didn’t take much time to prepare this resource. I would advice printing it out and putting it in a notebook for easy organization. I LOVE how it is already differentiated for me. I will be buying the rest of these resources to use next year!
