This was my first time using this website and I had to register just so I could comment. I had to tell you thank you, and that I love this!! My daughter is a grade 6 struggling reader. She “hates” to read and it is always a fight to get her to read. I borrowed Flat Stanley from a friend (I know it is geared towards grade 2 level but as I said she is struggling), and used your comprehension questions to test that she is actually absorbing what she read. Your questions are short and simple and not too painful for her or I. I will search through the books you have comprehension questions for and continue to encourage her to read! Thank you again!!!
