FAQs
Are answer keys included?
Yes. The answer keys are included as the last pages of the resource download.
Do all the activity worksheets need to be completed all at once, or can I split it up?
Is a digital version included?
Not always. Be sure to check the description to see if the specific resource has a digital version included.
What is the Lexile level of your reading passages?
Since Lexile is trademarked, I am unable to label them as Lexile levels. However, I have used the free Lexile analyzer and I stay within the recommended grade level range. If there is a specific reading packet that you need details for, please contact me directly and I’ll give you a more specific range.
I just purchased a resource, but I didn’t get it (or can’t find it).
