Product Description
Do your students love the springtime and Easter marshmallow candy bunnies and chicks? In this reading passage they will learn how Peeps(R) are made at the Just Born candy factory. Then they'll have fun with a narrative writing prompt about a marshmallow bunny and chick that escape from the candy store!
Students will read an original nonfiction text with an annotation guide about the history of this popular treat. The text includes the step by step process in which this popular candy is made.
