What Teachers Are Saying About This Oak Island Mystery Nonfiction Article and Activities Resource:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ DEFINITELY going to invest in a bundle on this one! High-interest non-fiction reading is so important for my 8th graders. This is the best of its kind (that I have found so far) for this important skillset. Will be using these all year. I can always count on good quality for the price from this seller.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love these mystery units and so do my students. They practice reading various texts and try to put all the clues together to see who dun it!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I purchased several of these nonfiction sets to use in my ELA classroom. Our current text book is very weak on nonfiction. These were a great supplement to use with my 6th graders. They find the topics interesting and I love that they are easy to use and prep for.
