Thank you for your comment, Cathie. I've fixed the link in the Resources list so you should now be able to access the correct printout.

I'm planning to use this lesson but the semantic gradient/context clues continued worksheet is the same as the first one and doesn't include the additional text as stated in the lesson plan. I was wondering if the correct one is available?
