School marm.

I assigned a nonfiction passage and test and posted it to Google Classroom through this site. How do I retrieve the scores? Thanks!

I do not store any student data due to COPPA regulations.

Please read this for more information about score collecting / keeping: https://www.ereadingworksheets.com/e-reading-worksheets/remote-learning-resources-for-covid-19-shutdowns/#how-to-assign-an-ereading-worksheet

I am loving these online test so fun

Sometimes on the iPad the online versions of the worksheets freeze. Is there something I can do? I’m having my daughter work on the inference one specifically right now. Thank you

I will look into it…

tabletpc.news

clues climber and Super Grammar Ninja, could you recommend similar games or activities for practicing context clues and grammar? Thank you!

Leslie Sammarco

What a gold mine! Thank you so much for creating and sharing this!

Question: Is there a way to print answer keys to the context clue vocabulary worksheets? Or are they only available to view?

If you try PRINTING the page, I think they format pretty nicely. Let me know what you think.

Dominica Brandon

Can I find past scores from quizes?

No, no student data is stored on this site.

Thanks so much for all your hard work. We are not supplied adequate curriculum in our school, so are always having to hunt down the best ways to teach different concepts. Your materials are rigorous, but also easy to understand. Thanks again!

Read the passage and then answer the questions below.

Food is an essential part of our lives. We all need food to survive as it provides us with energy and nutrients for healthy growth and development. Eating a well-balanced diet can also help us stay fit and strong.

There are many different types of foods that we can choose from when choosing what to eat. Fruits and vegetables are great for providing vitamins, minerals, and fiber to our diets. Grains such as rice, oats, and wheat provide carbohydrates which give us energy. Protein-rich foods like eggs, beans, fish, and meat help with growth and repair of tissues in the body. Dairy products contain calcium which is needed for strong bones.

Eating a variety of foods is important in order to get all the essential nutrients that our bodies need. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables, one-fourth of your plate with grains, and one-fourth with lean protein sources like fish or poultry. Eating a diverse selection of foods also provides us with different flavors and textures, which can make eating more enjoyable.

It is important to remember that food choices should be based on moderation and variety. Too much of any one type of food can lead to health problems like obesity or malnutrition. Eating in moderation and making healthy choices helps us stay healthy and happy. Making sure to eat a balanced diet and get regular physical activity will help us stay fit and healthy.

In conclusion, food is an essential part of our lives and we should make sure to eat a variety of nutritious foods in moderation for optimal health. Eating well-balanced meals can help us feel energized, stay strong, and keep our bodies functioning properly.
