    Good passages

    It’s hard to find passages written at an appropriate reading level for young students to use as research. These were very helpful during our opinion unit.

    Engaging and standards-aligned!

    This resource was a fantastic way to get my students excited about opinion writing. The topic of getting paid for chores is something they all had strong feelings about, which made the paired passages much more meaningful. It saved me a ton of prep time and clearly hits the 4th/5th-grade writing standards.
