Thank you for creating this amazing resource for my students!
Yvonne Aragon –
I use this in small groups. I’m able to stress a skill and the stories are short but filled with the pattern being studied. My students love using a highlighter and race one another to find all the words with the same pattern. It’s helping with their fluency and they think it’s more of a race. Love it!. Thanks again

This is a good resource for grade two and three. You can use it during reading centers or independent reading work. The passages are advanced so I wouldnt recommend for grade 1s if your curriculum is in Saskatchewan canada. I would find something a bit easier! Overall, a good product for grades 3-5.
