Another option is to create a book of poems for your students. Simply get an inexpensive binder for each kiddo, and as they can successfully read each poem, add it to their binder.

        1. Hi Tracy,

          Thanks so much for asking! You may use these online if they are directly sent only to your students in your current class and not shared outside of it as a license is for single classroom use. They may not be used in an online setting where you are charging a fee to teach a class or sharing it with other teachers, but can definitely be used in a distance learning situation for current students. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out and we can help!

  2. Hello!I really liked your fluency passages. I just want to ask permission if you will aLlow me to use the idea that you have but I will change the passages. This is for our learning portal for our struggling readers in our province.

      We are so glad you loved the fluency passages! However, please note that the design, structure, and content within them is copyrighted and not able to be replicated. Thank you for understanding! Please email us if you have further questions about copyright and fair use.
