☀️What others are saying about our top-selling reading passages:

**"**Great way for the kids to independently read and analyze what they learned through the use of the graphic organizer. They individually picked which plant they wanted to read about and then they shared with each other. It was a high-interest activity."

"Great resource! I love setting up the cards in different centers and getting my students moving around the classroom as they read about each one."
