This is AMAZING! It has everything you need! I love how it has multiple passages, formats for questions and additional activities you could include!

My kids go CRAZY for these games! They absolutely adore them. So fun, so engaging, and really encourages them to pay attention to the unit if they know this fun game will follow!

My students loved using these games during our small group reading and math times. They looked forward to going to the center where these were played. I saw a lot of growth with several of the concepts used in the games.

What a fabulous resource! This is so effective and engaging to use in small groups, independently or even in teams as a whole class--thank you very much! I came back for more and look forward to making this a regular part of our class centers/fun Fridays!
