High-interest nonfiction that builds reading comprehension and critical thinking!

Engage your students with 98 nonfiction stories across two binders, covering fascinating history and science topics—from the pyramids and the D-Day Invasion to dolphins and wasps. Each story is followed by three skill pages featuring comprehension questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy, sentence writing practice, and a research/writing activity.

Organized with tab dividers into categories—Animals, Inventions, People, and Places & Events—these binders make it easy to find just the right passage for instruction, practice, or enrichment.

The included whiteboard-ready Resource CD provides the entire binder contents in PDF format, plus a skills chart, reading levels, word counts, CCSS alignment, and a skill-tracking spreadsheet, making it a versatile tool for any reading, history, or science curriculum.
