What are teachers saying about my Fantasy stories?
"This resource I used for guided reading. It was great for teaching table because I was able to listen to the kids read it. The level that these stories are at were too easy for a lot of my kids. But the fact that the comprehension questions were open-ended, and were in need of full sentences, some of my students were challenged." Anna R.
"This was great to use while I was tutoring this summer. It provided enough engagement to help the child improve, but also wasn't too long so the child didn't get frustrated." Caroline A.
"These passages are awesome and especially engaging for students! Thank you so much!" Shannon B.
"Love this! My kids look forward to the stories every Wednesday when we use these for morning work." Kaysley T.

WHAT AGES CAN I USE THESE FOR?

• They will make kids SMILE and LAUGH
