FAQs

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?

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.
