    This site is wonderful! Perfect for filling in the gaps in teaching state-mandated RTI in reading comprehension.

    Please review your answer key for the “Pain Relievers” comprehension quiz. Answer # 8 is listed as “D,” neither, on the answer key. The question asked was “Which medicine should not be taken….” The Correct answer should be “both” should not be taken, not “neither” should not be taken.

    Both should not be taken
    Neither should be taken

    Or you could remove the word not from the question.

    This website is amazing! I am a teacher and do some tutoring on the side and this website helps me help my older clients practice for standardized assessments. Our district is going paperless (online testing) and I love this feature to help them practice getting more acquainted with the computer!

    I loved this website. However, on one of the answer keys, two of the answers were not in bold. For example, I used “Submarines” worksheet and the answers to questions 10 and 13 were not in bold.

    • I’m glad you like the website.

      Thanks for reporting this oversight.
      I have updated that answer key.

      Best wishes!

    I’m using these to prepare for my nursing test. I dropped out in 9th grade and missed out on this stuff. I took the test and failed once and there saying my comprehensive is off a bit. I’ve studied this over and over and over and got a tutor who’s a teacher and I’ve exceeded!! Thanks so much!
