TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amanda J. says, "This resource worked great for my higher level readers in second grade. The passages are very informative. My students enjoyed reading and learning about weather. The worksheets were a great way to assess their understanding of the text."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Breann L says, "My class loved the comprehension passages. They found them easier to understand than our science text (which is hard for my class made up entirely of ELLs). Thanks for putting this together!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heather Seegert says, "This was great for in class learning and then we finished it as distant learning. It had great questions for kids to be thinking about rather than just searching for an answer and plopping it in."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Janelle Janssen says, "Fabulous. I searched and downloaded a lot of content for weather, and this one was my favorite! The kids loved the first reading today. Full of fun facts, but a nice approachable reading level."
