Each story is followed by three skill-building pages with comprehension questions (literal and interpretive), sentence writing practice, and a research/writing activity—all designed around Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Organized with tab dividers into categories—Animals, Inventions, People, and Places & Events—this binder makes it easy to target specific themes. Also included is a skills chart, answer key, and Resource CD to support instruction and track progress.

The whiteboard-ready Resource CD provides the complete binder in PDF format, along with reading levels, word counts, CCSS standards, and a skill-tracking spreadsheet—making it an excellent supplement to any reading, history, or science program.
