Three Little Kittens –
This was a great resource for my school leavers and their English as second language conversation class. They usually intensely dislike learning about landmarks of any kind so I was looking for something to make things easier and these reading passages fit in perfectly.
Brandi R. –
This has been one of my students’ favorite resources so far this school year. They have really enjoyed learning about the landmarks and really enjoy getting out their highlighters to mark up the text to prove their answers. Very student friendly and engaging for the third graders.
