My students loved reading these compare and contrast passages. They are fun, informative, and easy to read. The anchor charts, teacher notes, and answer keys were also greatly appreciated and helpful!

Wonderful to use for reading rotations!
My Big Brain –
There passages are excellent for my special ed students who are in the 5th grade, but reading at a 3rd or 4th grade level. The text is not too long and the information and evidence they need to get from the text to answer the questions is not to frustrating for them.

I loved the compare and contrast activities that included the reading passages. I just wish more of the compare and contrast activities included in this product had the reading passages instead of having students do their own research or just compare and contrast from things they already knew. Especially for distance learning, it helps to have the passages of things to compare and contrast included.
