⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students absolutely LOVE this resource! I teach in a resource setting with 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students at a variety of ability levels. Our biggest struggle is my kids not being able to read things at their interest level. This has been a total game changer! On days that we don't read, my kids are begging to get to do Harry Potter!!! My students are actually WANTING to hear a book and do the assignments with it. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! - Katherine I.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a fantastic unit and my students loved it. Each unit has a new literacy outcome, comprehension questions as well as vocabulary words. I love that there are both short answer and multiple choice questions for each chapter to help accomodate all levels within my classroom. -Ashley F.
