Great resource to keep students moving, reading, interpreting and learning in class! It’s a win-win because it makes learning fun!

These are one of my favorite activities. Students need to travel the room reading and answering questions. I appreciate the digital and print versions. I prefer using the print version to have students get out of their seats but i have posted the digital version in google classroom for practice as well.

My students benefit greatly from the daily reading practice. I love giving students high frequency vocabulary and this aids with their reading comprehension, and I always use them when introducing vocabulary. Highly recommend using these short readings to introduce vocabulary.

I love these scavenger hunts! My students took two class days to complete this activity, but they found it helpful to review the imperfect tense through short readings about a childhood.

My students really enjoyed this. I posted the different readings all over my classroom and hallway, and did it scavenger hunt-style. The kids did a great job working together and making connections. This was very well-done and organized.
