➯➯3. TPT's Easel Tool
This resource is also available via TpT's Easel Activity Tool. However, due to the limitations of Easel, the reading passages are viewed as questions, so the points are skewed. Plus, there is only multiple choice and vrai/faux as answers. There are no fill-in or long answer options. This resource still grades for you.
