The simplicity in the format of the reading passage allowed my students to gain a better understanding of the events that occurred on 9/11. Awesome resource.

Rated 5 out of 5

I loved using this reading activity with my students. It was well organized and easy for my students with reading comprehension difficulties to understand. The questions were not too difficult for them either. Highly recommend.
