Commodity Readers
These Commodity Readers and sample test questions were financed by a USDA grant and written in collaboration with Illinois and Ohio Ag in the Classroom programs. They are designed to examine agriculture as it relates to Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts. These readers are a way to expose students to non-fiction based text. The sample questions can be answered using the text and are designed to take about 10 minutes per subject area.

Each lesson encompasses more than one subject area. *These lessons are in the process of being updated to the 2018 Science Standards.*
