Storm Watch: Details That Matter

A storm is coming, and students help a family get ready. Grades 3-5 read short passages, answer why and how questions with details from the text, sort details that matter from extra ones, pick the main idea, read body language, choose caring words, and fix verbs that must agree with their subjects. Every passage, question and option can be read aloud.

• 14 interactive scenes with read-aloud passages and questions
• Matching, sorting, highlighting, dropdown and find-in-picture activities
• Automatic scoring with an end-of-lesson score
