Frequently asked questions
Are reading passages included?
Yes. Each unit pairs original passages with text-dependent questions and a full answer key, so there is nothing extra to source.
What grade levels are these for?
They are written for Grades 6–9 and work across on-level, support and reading-intervention classes. Differentiated and optional tasks let you scale the difficulty up or down for mixed-ability groups without extra prep.
What files do I get, and can I reuse them?
Each resource downloads instantly as editable Microsoft Word worksheets and answer keys plus a PowerPoint slide deck, so you can print class sets or teach digitally. A purchase is licensed for your own classroom, so you can reuse it with new students every year.
