⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I use all of her close reading activities (at least it feels like it!) and my students love them! This year I had several students who do not celebrate Christmas, so I used these texts in place of traditional holiday texts. I can tweak the open-ended questioning to suit my students' understanding and I create a digital assessment that is text-based once we're done as well since the activities are great at analyzing the text."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
