Perfect to set up on Chromebooks. This is a great reading comprehension passage for your struggling boys who are just not motivated to read. Finish Line is the fiction story of a boy who is trying to find his own special talent in a family of many talents, who finds a dirt bike, fixes it up, and goes on to win at a dirt bike race, making new friends along the way. Each slide is a piece of the motocross story, and is followed by a slide of reading comprehension questions requiring thinking, evidence, and inference, as required by the rigor of today's standards. 22 questions in all, with an answer key at the end, so it can be self checking. Good for independent practice and test prep, and perfect for homeschool, too. If you have a boy who likes motocross bike racing, this is a great independent reading assignment to do at a computer station or on a Chromebook or iPad. It can also be shown in Google Slides.
Very disappointed with this resource, particularly as I'd paid for it! I hadn't noticed before buying that it was American, so had to change spelling and terminology (eg 'queue' instead of 'line'). This by itself would be fine if it were not for the following:
-Poor grammar ("he was resting and praying to do good")
-Sexist stereotypes (a football star brother and cheerleader sisters)
-Questionable message ("John didn't have any friends because he didn't play any sports")
The tone was also too childish for the upper end of the recommended age range, which was unfortunately the age of my student.

I’m sorry you had to adjust spellings. I didn’t upload this to the UK site, only the US site. So, the site must be showing you U.S. resources. I’d be careful going forward. As far as your other comments about the resource, I have had rave reviews on this resource in the U.S. with people requesting me to make more similar ones. I will look at the preview and make sure it shows the resource so people can better decide if irbid right for them. Thanks.
