Was looking for new AAPI passages since I was switched to 2nd grade and the others I had were too advanced. These are a bit too simple and short for my kiddos, so I'd say this is more for 1st grade or lower readers.

Hi Dorothy! Thank you for choosing to use this resource with your second graders. I really appreciate your constructive feedback and will make sure to clearly state that these activities are for higher level kindergarten, first grade, or lower-level second grade so that future teachers do not run into this issue. I apologize for the confusion and am happy to issue a refund or replace this product with one of equal or lesser value. You can reach me at kimberly@kimberlysclassroom.com
